This is the second time I've seen this happen.

I use NTP to maintain a constant time synchronization between my machines.
I execute an "ntpdate ntp1.sol.net ntp2.sol.net" on startup, and then
continue to peer with those via xntpd.

I am scratching my head:

tazenda# date
Fri Jun 29 06:26:54 CST 1928
tazenda# kill -TERM 101			(xntpd)
tazenda# ntpdate ntp1.sol.net ntp2.sol.net
29 Jun 06:26:49 ntpdate: adjust time server 206.55.64.77 offset -0.094483
tazenda# date 9607171041.11		(a bit off)
Wed Jul 17 11:41:11 CDT 1996
tazenda# ntpdate ntp1.sol.net ntp2.sol.net
17 Jul 10:43:51 ntpdate: step time server 206.55.64.77 offset -3447.559317
tazenda# date
Wed Jul 17 10:44:00 CDT 1996
tazenda# ntpdate ntp1.sol.net ntp2.sol.net
17 Jul 10:46:59 ntpdate: adjust time server 206.55.64.77 offset 0.056805
tazenda# more /etc/ntp.conf
server  ntp1.sol.net.
server  ntp2.sol.net.
driftfile       /etc/ntp.drift
tazenda# 

The box in question is running 2.0.5-RELEASE, but I believe I've seen it
happen to a 2.1.0-RELEASE box too.

Thoughts?

Hmm, just noticed.  It appears to have "changed" about a week ago, during a
reboot.  Perhaps ntpdate is at fault..
