So what is >the problem? Most computers have a decided skew in their clock speed, so that they need to be constantly adjusted to retain the correct time. Setting this time once only gives the perception of accuracy. VMs are even worse; if their clock doesn't run 3x as fast or 3x as slow it changes speed unpredictably. I use openntpd with the -s startup option. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
