/usr/sbin/ntpdate de.pool.ntp.org
/etc/ntp.conf as suggested in that file:
server timeserver1.gsi.de # GSI only ! server de.pool.ntp.org # driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift
The dhclient (/sbin/dhclient-script)
seems to change the server entries, why this???
/sbin/service ntpd startand prepare it for automatic startup:
/sbin/chkconfig ntpd on
