Clock on my Suse 8.0 machine starts to run really slowly after some days/weeks/months of normal functioning. One second on my computer lasts for 5-10 real seconds and the only cure for this is rebooting. Anyone else experiencing this weird behaviour? robert

I had something similar happen about a month ago, and I ended up tracing it back to something I had done with my firewall configuration that was blocking the return information to xntpd. Once I corrected that, all was well again. You didn't provide much information, so I don't know whether or not yours is a similar problem. -- Bob Swift

It happens on the machine that I have running 8.0 In my case the problem occurs whenever I install/upgrade software through Yast. I have pinpointed the problem down to something Yast does right before installing the software. It appears that it is doing some kind of quick hardware check as my monitor makes a quick clicking sound, then the clock immediately slows down, and then Yast displays the screen showing the software install progress. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution to the problem and thus I immediately reboot anytime I use Yast to install software. Regards, Paul
