True, I still don't know how to use tsctl either. I have too much other stuff to bother about trying to either

I use services to sync all our ircds. Some docs on time syncing, if anyone knows how, would certainly be useful.

Synching the clock is done by setting the system times of the machines where your servers are running, not within the ircd. If you still want to use /tsctl, that command is used to set the offset on the local server with the following syntax: /tsctl offset <+|-> <time>. However, as w00t says, this is easier with Services.

What you are looking for is called "NTP" / "NTPd". (linux)
Just google for it.

On Windows (xp), the time is automatically synchronized (with time.microsoft.com

)

And for NT4 and 2000, you can use NET TIME:

NET TIME \\computername

I'm assuming this needs NetBIOS/etc, unless there's an alternate format for using DNS names (or if you can use DNS names in the format I gave

).
