I realize that my clock on the NeXT keeps running late. So finally got annoyed enough to try to fix the problem. In the man pages I found a reference to /etc/npt.drift However the file format is not documented. Does anyone know if this file can be helpful in getting rid of the problem? If yes, what do the entries in the file mean?

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). -- Hardy ----- Meinhard E.
