Hi,

I'm running SmoothWall Express 2.0 Fix 4

I noticed the following error message in my logfile:
	ntpdate Can't adjust the time of day: Invalid argument

I had a quick look around and found the file
	/usr/local/bin/gettime.pl
had the line
        @command = ('/usr/bin/ntpdate', '-su', @servers);

The -u option isn't a recognised ntpdate option so I changed it to '-s' and 
now it works.

My question is: surely this has been identified before and a fix put in place. 
So have I missed an update somewhere?

regards,

A.
