rdate doesn't give me the functionality that I'm looking for as it |
| 39 |
expects to connect to the (x)?inetd 'time' subdaemon, instead of an |
| 40 |
ntpd server. But, removing some of the "heavier" USE flags (php, |
| 41 |
apache2, etc.) brought me down to net-misc/ntp and 2 other |
| 42 |
dependencies (libcap and swig), which I thought were acceptable. |
