Stepping the system clock during boot

comments 19 Dec 2011

FreeBSD allows you to perform an instantaneous change to your system clock while the host is booting up no matter how great the difference between a machine's current clock setting and the correct time.

To enable, add the following to /etc/rc.conf

ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_hosts="north-america.pool.ntp.org"
