did set the correct date & time on the server

modified the rc.conf by adding following lines
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_program="/usr/sbin/ntpdate"
ntpdate_flags="-bsuv ntp1.ptb.de"

and added a new line in the crontab file

•       5       *       *       *       root /usr/sbin/ntpdate -bsuv ntp1.ptb.de
  

means: fetch time from server ntp1.ptb.de at 5am every day

after 395 days of uptime the time ran out of sync by 10 minutes

Prima !
Ich hab mich immer über die krumme Zeit gewundert und mich gefragt , wo denn wohl der Server stehen mag.
 

Sorry it would take me too long to say this in German so I'll stick to Ninglish.

Has changing the server time and getting it to update etc have any influence on the amount of time your log in for?

Last weekend I was logging in every hour ... today I logged in this morning to help UrbanBassman out, went to work, came back 4 hour later, turned pc on and I'm still logged in!

Funny, I was thinking a few night ago that a choice to automatically log in and stay logged in would in its self create more traffic.
