Can anyone post some working time servers for the netdate command?

Thanks.

mm I usually just run timeconfig and let slackware handle it.

let the pool do the work.

Thanks.
For netdate, the list of NIST Internet Time Service is here http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi
For the NTP, you can search the NTP servers for your location, here: http://www.pool.ntp.org

You'll probably get a more accurate clock setting by using the ntpdate command instead. Have a look at http://www.pool.ntp.org for a list of servers. I generally use us.pool.ntp.org here.

If you do want to use netdate for some specific reason, time.mit.edu works.
