The system clock on one of my machines is running way slow. If I repeatedly run 'date' the second changes once every 3 or 4 seconds. ntpdate will bring it into line, but ntpd can't keep it there. I don't understand how this can happen. My experience with digital electronics says that things almost never work half-way; they're fine, or they're dead. Anybody know what the system clock actually is? A counter counting the line frequency?? A divider off the CPU clock? There was a power failure this morning, long enough to drain the UPSes and stop all the computers. Then when I started bringing things back up, I could just barely catch the aroma of overheated electronics -- so it could be hardware. It could also be my imagination. -- Glenn English ghe@slsware.com GPG ID: D0D7FF20
