11 The Time server

You can add the “Time Server”¹ functionality to the Chooser as shown in Fig. 11.1. This allows you to select a specific server by pressing the Set Time button in the Chooser dialog and thus making sure that the time on your Mac client is always in sync with the time on the server you have chosen. If the time of your Mac goes wrong by one hour, you have to open the Date & Time control panel and check whether Daylight Savings Time is set up correctly.

Fig. 11.1: Selecting a time server for time adjustment

After the Time server has been selected, the local Mac time will be set according to the server time whenever you boot your Mac.

Note:

Full details on the Time server program can be found in the EtherShare 2.6 manual.

• ¹ The HELIOS Time Server client Chooser extension is not available for Mac OS X. Use up to Mac OS 9.x.
