- If your machine is on a network and you know an ntp (or xntp) host at
- Brown, and if your machine is running ntp (check you /etc/hostconfig
- file), ntp.drift records the drift of your clock vis-a-vis the master
- clock. ntp is adjusting the logical time.
- We have three servers on campus, and if I want to reset the physical
- clock I issue the command (as root):
- ntp -f -s -v draco.acs.uci.edu einstein.oac.uci.edu paris.ics.uci.edu
- (see the man-page on ntp).
