Nice descriptive article. I've done this on purpose too to debug
remote filesystem syncs and cryptography problems where machines are
out of sync. My GPS wall clock is handy for adjusting NTP, but the
time it takes to scan my eyes from the wall back to the monitor.. you
really do need two stacked like she did. So I now figured to use
transparrent terminals each logged into a different host and lay them
over one another running "watch -n1 date".
Would have been nice to have some more network, code and command line
examples. You need to set up a local ntpd and need to point your
local master at that temporarily. A better utility to write would be
"timediff -s1 -s2" that takes two time servers and shows the offset. I
bet there's a way to do that in one line. Anyone?
