Was going to setup a central time server, but found that NTP-Server is no longer available in Squeeze. Are there any alternatives?
Thanks,

"This package contains the NTP daemon and utility programs. An NTP
daemon needs to be running on each host that is to have its clock
accuracy controlled by NTP. The same NTP daemon is also used to provide
NTP service to other hosts."

Thanks,

Instead of the 'ntp' server what you probably want is 'ntpdate'
installed, it's the client, it will check to Internet server and set the
time at each boot. It's in your Debian repos.

Ntpdate is deprecated.

It is a client, and a very limited one. Ntpd is both client and
server. Use it or Chrony.

Hi John,
I appreciate your post and it's not the first time mentioned, I've been
using ntpdate for many years and still do with KDE, so I don't
understand the problem, ntpdate gets the time from a Internet server and
sets my clock, I don't need to install a server to do that. So what is
the problem?

Most computers have a decided skew in their clock speed, so that they need to
be constantly adjusted to retain the correct time. Setting this time once
only gives the perception of accuracy. VMs are even worse; if their clock
doesn't run 3x as fast or 3x as slow it changes speed unpredictably.
I use openntpd with the -s startup option.

As mentioned, I believe ntpdate is deprecated and ntpd -q (not 100% sure
of the option) is the preferred one-shot synchronizer - John
