Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Re: [ldm-users] Minor bug in LDM 6.8.0: can't find ntpdate

The ldmadmin(1) script uses the command "ntpdate -q", which queries a
time-server in order to check the accuracy of the system clock but *does
not* attempt to set the system clock; consequently, it isn't affected by
a running ntpd(8) daemon and the command can be run by anyone and not
just the superuser.
