Yep, it appears that I do have ntpd running, but it doesn't appear to
be doing anything. I've found a page with a bewildering plethora of
possibilities at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/html/ntpd.htm
but I haven't figured out how get it to actually set the time on my
system.
One concern that I have about its working automatically is that I'm on
dialup (ugh), and so it probably wouldn't be able to check itself on a
regular schedule. Would this be a problem?
