Subject:   os clock drifts while bios clock stay's ok

Hi,

I came back from my break to log in to my faverite FreeBSD 4.2 box, only
to discover that the clock was many days out.

I was not running NTP and the box had been idle with KDE and xglobe
running as a normal user.


I  inspected the bios clock by doing a reboot and the bios proved to
have the correct day and time.  This i a little worrying as I was under
the impression that they were one and the same.

I tried running ntp but the drift got so large that it told me I had to
adjust it manually (in just 12 hours!!).

Can anybody help?

Thanks

Tom Brown
