Hi,

I was just following this string of messages. I know my question is off
subject, 
but simple enough for someone in the know to help me out. 

How does one on a linux box, use NTP from another server ?

Thanks

Are you sure you have to delete the .log file.
Assuming the current date/time on the box is correct, couldn't you just wait
5hr37mins for the box to catch up.

If the date/time is incorrect, set the clock and think about using NTP.
