i have to update the date manually by #ntpdate -u

please? thank you? no? Oh well...

so what happens if you run the ntpd process in the foreground? What does your config look like? Have you defined valid ntp servers in it?

So what happens if you run "/etc/init.d/ntpd START???
What is the output of "ntpq -p"? Contents of your NTP configuration file? Where is the reference time source, and can it be reached?
