Many thanks to all of the Sluggers who answered. That did the trick.
Question to you Ronan though, I use a dialup connection and I like
your idea, however, to do the ntp thing you must be root. Will that work
in the ppp script? I never dialup as root.
Thanks, Bob
I guess I could also put it in the chron job and make sure that I am on line
at the time the script would be run.
