What's a good alternative NTP client for XP?

[Sometwo]

Windows XP's native NTP client only updates once a week which isn't going to work. Does anyone know of a a good free alternative?

I also need to know how I can get a Red Hat box to synchronize to the NTP server more frequently as well.

Any help is appreciated.

bat file with a sync command scheduled to run as you like.

I've been using the pools at ntp.org for servers...and have set some stubborn clients to it.

http://www.ntp.org/

They use "pools"..so always an answer.

In the US.....I use us.pool.ntp.org

You can change how often it updates..

Here's the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/W32Time/TimeProviders/NtpClient/SpecialPollInterval

It's in seconds, so change it accordingly.

Personally I have my smoothwall sync up every 12 hours, and all my PC's sync up off of it.

In Linux you can have the ntpd (NTP Daemon) running it can be configured usually with the file at /etc/ntp.conf

Also you can run the command via crontab if you simply need to sync at certain times e.g.: "ntpdate us.pool.ntp.org"
