hi all!

i put on the latest version of ntp the other day (thanks,
mark!) and it 'works'.  i was reading the documentation (am
i supposed to admit that? :-) and i saw that ntpdate -- the
program i've been using for quite some time -- is being
phased out in favor of ntpd.  ok, says i.  so the
documentation goes onto say -- run ntpd with -q to mimic the
behaviour of ntpdate.  ok, i sez again :-)  but this is what
i get:

:/NTP/CURRENT/bin/ntpd "-q time.longs.com"
usage: NTPD.V0401000.NTP [ -abdgmnqx ] [ -c config_file ] [
-e e_delay ]
                [ -f freq_file ] [ -k key_file ] [ -l
log_file ]
                [ -p pid_file ] [ -r broad_delay ] [ -s
statdir ]
                [ -t trust_key ] [ -v sys_var ] [ -V
default_sysvar ]

ok...so it doesn't like the nodename (-q doesn't accept a
parameter).  before everyone gets excited -- yes,
time.longs.com is real and available and everything else.
the issue (as usual) is me :-)  i'm guessing i need a config
file?  but what should it look like and where is the common
place for it to live?                 - d
