Hi all, I've got a weird problem with a 9.3 box. After running for a few hours, the system clock seems to start running extremely slowly - about 1 second for every real 5 seconds. Next time it happens I'm going to check on the hardware clock with hwclock, but I would be very surprised if it is out - I think this is a software problem. The system is fairly basic - it's a firewall using Shorewall and a mail server using Dovecot and sendmail, no GUI at all. Kernel version installed (with the non GPL stuff as well) is 2.6.11.4-21.9, SMP version (it's a hyperthreading box). Does anyone have any ideas, or suggestions for how best to troubleshoot this one?
