Caledar problem

[jb]

I'm using RedHat 9 and at boot up it looks for my time server to sync but 
since I am dial up it fails. After boot up a right click on the clock gives 
me adjust date and time and I have to give the root password and check enable 
network time protocol. Then I can choose either the 2 redhat servers or one 
of my own local ones like...
US NY clock.linuxshell.net (64.243.118.2)
US NY clock.nyc.he.net (209.51.161.238)
US NY reva.sixgirls.org (66.250.131.180)
US NY sundial.columbia.edu (128.59.59.177)
US NY timex.cs.columbia.edu (128.59.16.20)
Hit OK and it syncs to the server and adjusts the time. I'm not sure of other 
flavors of Linux.  I have to physically run the time sync which doesn't 
bother me much, If I wasn't dial up it would do it auto at boot up. I'm sure 
there would be a way to run redhat-config-date as a cron job. How I don't 
know but I will search around and see if there is any info or an app and if I 
find something I will post it. I too would be kind of interested in setting 
up a auto daily time sync.
