Hellow

Heh yes, the config file seemed to change every few days :o)
Now, i don't know the right settings anymore to just make sure my desktop 
clock shows the right time ;o) I don't know wether to enable ntpdate, or 
ntpd, or something else... Hope this will be cleared up with your next 
release :o) 

See ya!
