Date Disparities
I'm having an interesting experience with one of my
Debian machines. I've got a few, all synchronized
with ntp. One of them always reports the time as
20 seconds slow.
As an example, I do this:
---
radha# date ; date +%s
Tue Jun 23 09:41:48 EDT 1998
898609308
--- and at the same time I do this
krishna# date ; date +%s
Tue Jun 23 09:41:28 EDT 1998
898609308

Radha returns the correct time, Krishna is 20 seconds
late. Please note that I am getting 2 different time
strings for the same time integer.
I'm sure somebody knows what's going on. They're
both running bo with libc5.4.38-1 and
shellutils 1.16-2.
Maybe Krishna doesn't know about leap-seconds?
TIA
