[SPAM] Re: backing up symlinks

[Steven Hildreth]

If you use Gentoo you can emerge NTP and then set it up to run at boot
to ensure your date is right on. This snip assumes you are in Central
Timezone:

#ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT /etc/localtime
#emerge net-misc/ntp
#ntpdate ntp1.kansas.net
#echo "ntpdate ntp1.kansas.net" >> /etc/conf.d/local.start

Steven (Tallen)
