Hi,

Using the command of 'watch -n 1 tail -10 /var/log/ntp' I see that the
ntp daemon only checks at certain intervals for a time server. Which ntp
configuration file could I edit to shorten/lengthen the time between the
ntp checks? The last check was at 07h29 and the time now is 08h24 and it
hasn't checked inbetween.


Why not just run the daemon and forget about it. It checks as often
as it needs to keep the machine in sync.
Umm, John... if /var/log/ntp exists on his system, then the daemon
probably *is* already running :-)
