I haven't been following this thread closely and assuming xntp is being used to synchronise the clocks. I've installed a new motherboard and I am seeing clock drift possibly because of a low battery, though ACPI is not reporting anything. I've had to edit crontab "crontab -e -u root" and insert the following line to keep my clock synched. * * * * * /usr/sbin/ntptimeset -S 1 -s >/dev/null 2>&1
That runs once a minute. Is it really as bad as that? That can't be good. How much does a CMOS battery cost these days?
