From an Eterm or Amiga Shell, type the following:
app/fade/nettime <server> <service> <protocol>
Where:
<server> | is the server name, eg. ntp2a.mcc.ac.uk |
<service> | is the service, eg. sntp (same as the file names in app/fade/client/ but without the extension) |
<protocol> | is the IP protocol to use, eg. udp (use udp where possible, tcp at all other times) |
You can also create a text file called app/fade/servers containing a list of servers to try. This MUST be in Amiga/UNIX text format and finish with a blank line. The format is the same as you would give to the nettime command, ie. <server> <service> <protocol>
Servers
A list of servers can be found at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.htm. An abridged version is available in the Facts documentation at http://www.unsatisfactorysoftware.co.uk/facts/guide/ntpservers.html
Services
Service | Protocol | Port | Notes |
daytime | tcp/udp | 13 | |
time | tcp/udp | 37 | |
sntp | udp | 123 | The best protocol to use |
fade | tcp | 3233 | Special service designed specifically for synchronisation between AmigaDE/intent machines. |
