• I grabbed EST5EDT from codd.

scp codd.cs.earlham.edu:/usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT .

• Link to localtime

cd /etc

Run at startup

• I'm not sure of the proper way to do this. Works though.

touch /etc/init.d/sync_time
vi /etc/init.d/sync_time
...
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/ntpdate cs.earlham.edu
echo Syncing with cs.earlham.edu

• Add to rc3.d

cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/
ln -s ../../init.d/sync_time S73SYNCTIME
