NTP update intervall

Hi,
I have a prob withe the NPT-Client inteegratet in SUSE 10.0. I'm running
SUSE inside a virtuel maschine (vmware) which supports to pause the linux
session. But after resuming the session the vm keeps the time where it was
frozen.
I have the NTP-Client running, but it doesn't try to fetch the actuall time
from the selected timeserver.
Now I'd like to set an intervall, like 5 min, to force the client to get
the new time.
Thanks for any suitable help (e.g. rebooting the vm is not what I am
thinking of ;-) ).

Greetings Christian

Did you install via YAST the xntp-doc package? Most likely you will find
your answer there.

I think you have to add a minpol argument to the server definition(s) in
the .conf file.
