I noticed this because I set up a nightly ntpdate cron job. Unfortunately, it isn't much use to me because I'm running on securelevel 3 and the clock drift is so significant: the correction is clamped to 1 second. I can't imagine my system timer to be hosed, so is perhaps the timer calibration hosed? >How-To-Repeat: Just leave the system up and running and ntpdate daily. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
