"""
after some confusion I think there is an error in the howto for the ntp-client
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/infrastructure/config-ntp.xml

<copy>
Code Listing 1.2: /etc/conf.d/ntp-client

NTPDATE_CMD="ntpdate"
NTPDATE_OPTS="-b timex.cs.columbia.edu"
</copy>

The variables in the /etc/init.d/ntp-client script is called
NTPCLIENT_CMD="ntpdate"
NTPCLIENT_OPTS="-b ..."

But still thanks for the good work.

Best regards,

This is is really outdated along with some of the other infra docs, I'm going to see if I can update this at some later point. I'll at least update the doc to what we use currently and fix the error.

Commited to cvs!
