Doing a ntupdate at boot?

Electrified · 09-09-2005, 02:46 PM

I have FC4 on a PowerMac but everytime I reboot the time gets messed up. This is a problem in the end of the boot and I get some error messages (Setting time to 1970 instead of 1904 etc) and ./configure is often failing. Anyway I was thinking that if I could make it do a "ntupdate -u <ip>" just after the interfaces start this problem would be solved. Now the problem is that I have no idea how to do this

Any ideas?

The easiest way would be to put the ntpdate command at the end of your rc.local file which should be run after the network is up.

To fix the problem I'd try replacing your CMOS battery.
