Remember ntpdate?

If you run BSD it's there still

https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?ntpdate

It was also standard in my Linux distribution of Mandrake / Mandriva & early Debian

For reasons unknown I don't see it anymore.

I just needed to install it separately, 10 minutes ago. The HDD footprint is just a 150k I ask myself why was it removed?

No wonder many people permanently move to BSD. Things like this don't happen there

#ntpdate #Linux #BSD #freeBSD #ghostBSD

Local #FreeBSD (v14.3-RELEASE) "/etc/rc.conf" has ...

ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_sync_on_start="YES"

... which did not make "ntpd(8)" to run due to "clock offset exceeds panic threshold" with any of: cold boot; "exit" after "shutdown now"; "service ntpd start".

Running"ntpd -g -q" on the command line as "root" was what worked ...

ntpd[23887]: ntpd: time set +43196.535229 s

"#ntpdate(8)" is the next best recourse again looks like (it had been present earlier).

#NTP

saving this for later

$ sudo service ntp stop
$ sudo ntpdate -s time.nist.gov
$ sudo service ntp start

#linux #ntpdate
