Re: Clock running slow - followup
Ahhhh, the mist clears. That may be the source of my troubles some time back.
NTP _had_ been working flawlessly for many years, then all of a sudden it
stoped working properly on both of my machines. Exact symptoms that Bill is
describing.
Thinking back I had started using the ide-scsi on both machines at various
points in time due to upgraded cd-rom writer drives. I had never made the
association that that could have been a cause for the system clock to be
running slow.
I was unable to find the cause at the time.
Cheers
