Re: SNTP client: time not changed as requested

[Wayne McAlpine <wmcalpine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's are API's to retrieve the software time, which can then be used 
to set QTIME.  I bought a software package several years ago for $100 
that does exactly this.

Another neat feature of V5R3 is that the AS/400 can now act as an SNTP 
server that can be used to sync all of your pc's from.  Prior to V5R3, 
SNTP could only act as a client on the AS/400.
