Hi,

FWIW on my dual G4 the hardware clock loses between 3 and 5 minutes per24 hour period.


I finally set up an hourly cron job to try to keep my clock current.

I have two dual G4s running potato debian.
On both of them the syslog shows time resets from NTP of approximately5 seconds per hour. I also noticed independently that the hardwareclock seemed to drift radically.Am I misinterpreting? Can the clock be that bad, or should I checkconfiguration?
thanks
John
