Re: [webmin-l] problem with time server

[<and...@fr...>]

OK.....
You were right.. the problem was ntpdate...

It was not installed at all !!!

Now I installed the package xntp (4.2.0a on suse 10.1)  providing ntpdate
and everything is OK, both from commandline and from webmin

Anyway I think the message should be : "Hey !! where is ntpdate ? I can't
find it !" rather than 39018 days.....

Thank you very much for your help,

Andrea

That error actually comes from the ntpdate program which Webmin calls to
do the sync. Do you get the same message if you run :

ntpdate -s remote.server.hostname

as root at the shell prompt? If so, does it happen even for other
time servers, like time.nist.gov or time.deakin.edu.au ?
