Sorry guys for the newbie style question.

The hardware clock battery is dead on machine I upgraded from
FreeBSD 2.2 to 4.1 release.  When powering up the CMOS clock
says Jan 1, 1980 etc.

I want to use "ntpdate" and "ntpd" in combination but the
kernel is clamping time changes to 1 second which means
"ntpdate" can't get the clock close enough for "ntpd" to
take over which stops due to excessive clock error.

Any suggestions?

Conrad Pino
