[ale] time

^Does anyone know how to ping a timeserver and have 
^your Linux machine update the time, say once every hour?
In my crontab:
 04 03 * * *       /etc/rc.d/time.set 2> /dev/null

[root at zotnet POV]# cat /etc/rc.d/time.set
date
/usr/sbin/netdate -v tycho.usno.navy.mil bitsy.mit.edu
/sbin/clock -w
date

Note this causes an email to be sent, I suppose I should make the crontab line:

04 03 * * *       /etc/rc.d/time.set > /dev/null 

^
^Also, how do I find a timerserver?

You need at least two, and often your ISP will have one.  What I want
to know is how tohook up my Windows 95 and NT bozes to my server (which
is running timed)
