[Dxspider-support] Keeping an accurate system clock

[John Spigel]

I've noticed wide variation is dx spot times.  You can lock
your cluster system clock to the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) clock. It uses Coordinated
Universal Time from the national time scale UTC(NIST) as its
time reference. Do this by running from root:
"rdate -s time.nist.gov".
You can add this to your spider crontab to run daily if you
like. Specific information is available from:
