Hi, I'm looking for advice on Timed and time-zones...
I'm running BSDI v201
Timed.
Is anybody using this successfully? Any idea what the -F flag means?
Can I enforce a system to be a slave (when I've started Timed with no
parms it still sometimes becomes a master). Can you easily tell Timed
to be a master on one port and slave on another? Likewise can you
easily tell Timed not to be active (listen or broadcast) on a certain
port? It looks like the latter can be done by telling it to ignore
networks, but there could be many networks ultimately able to access
either port; also I've not had much luck with this - do you really
need to update /etc/networks?
What I really want is one machine to always be a master on one port
and slave on another, and another machine to be a slave on one port
and not interfere on the other.
Time-zones
When I activate Timed on a third BSDI system (with no parms), it reads
the time off its local Master and then sets itself one hour behind. It
seems our Master is running BST (ie GMT+0) and broadcasting a value for
GMT. How do I tell the BSDI system that it too should be running BST?
I've tried all the flags on the date command without any luck.
Please reply direct, if poss, as I don't usually subscribe to this group.
TIA,
