[TriLUG] Crontab

[dsandif]

I'm in the process of googling up information on this but I'll ask as 
well. I'm trying to get my clock on my Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 to sync 
automatically with a time server and I am trying to use crontab to sync 
with a local time server so that I get the correct time without looking 
for a server outside the state.

_*This is the command that I am issuing*_:

crontab -u root -e


_*this is the time server that I'm trying to access:*_

/usr/sbin/ntpdate -s clock1.net.unc.edu


_*And this is what I get back:
*_
No crontab for root. Using an empty one..

Bad minute errors in crontab file can't install
do you want to retry same edit?

Can't edit crontab

Thanks to all for help.
