Re: Setting system time/date (no cron jobs required).

["Jose M. Sanchez" <opjose ex-pressnet com>]

Linuxconf (available from the Control panel, use the "Music director"
icon)...

Anyway Linuxconf/Control/Date & Time/Get Date from servers

Then just add in the IP of the server you wish to use...

No cron jobs or anything else required...

If for some reason this doesn't appear, try updating your linuxconf program
and I'ld install the new modules while you are at it... they are getting to
be pretty good!
