Re: Time synchronization

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

Paul Nicolay has published some code that does this. I think it is on
the News/400 site (http://www.news400.com). Perhaps he will weigh in
here with more information about what it does. I also did a port that
connects to NIS and reports any time differences. It doesn't actually
change you system time, but I think you could modify it to do this with
a little programming. It's not one of our supported products, just a
port of the NIS code with some hooks for AS/400 messages. If you are
interested you can download it from here:
