Everything is identical as far as the conf and drift files are concerned, we're using lagg interfaces on both systems. The versions of the two ntpd binaries are different-4.2.0-a for BSD 7 and 4.2.4p5 for BSD 8. I have not tried building the binary with debug mode enabled. That will probably be my next exercise. Any suggestions though in the meantime that might explain this would be appreciated. Two different machines should have different drifts; you aren't running with /var/db/ntpd.drift unwritable, by any chance? Otherwise, it implies ntpd never gets sync'ed so as to adjust the clock drift. Anyway, to debug this usefully show us output from: ntpq -pc rv localhost cat /etc/ntp.conf Regards, -- -Chuck
