- Are you positive that you are talking the same tongue? As Vernon points
- out, "time" is a UDP protocol, and internet timesync is usually done
- with (x)ntp. However, a solution for you might be to run xntp on one of
- the SG boxes and have the others share it with time.
- (That is what works here). At the time I was setting up xntp here I had the
- same error message and found that some competitor boxes come with ntp
- as time sync mechanism, so as people said that they are synced they
- automatically referred to ntp instead of time.
