Time syncronization?
 
My clock seems to be a little slow on my computer, is there a tool that would syncronize my computer's clock with that of some crazy atomic clock in some far off land for me?

You're looking for the ntp protocol.

Run the following command as root:

/usr/sbin/ntpdate 148.167.132.201 && /sbin/hwclock --systohc

Since you're in Switzerland (or is that Interlochen, Michigan?), you may want to get the IP of a time server closer to you. You can find a list here.

Enjoy!

When I tried that, I get the following error:
Code:
13 Jul 15:33:26 ntpdate[3495]: no server suitable for synchronization found
What is wrong??

I tried many different servers on the list, using both the IP address and the name (eg ntp.saard.net).

Any help is appreciated
