Dave, Have you heard about many other people that have had to use NTP to keep decent time? This is the first machine I've ever encountered that has had this problem. I think you're right, NTP is pretty painless, especially since my net connection is up all the time. It has made 38 corrections in just under 6 hours so far ranging from about 0.25 seconds to about 4.5 seconds depending on the execution interval which has varied from about 4 minutes to about 31 minutes. Thanks again, Ron On Sat, Feb 16, 2002 at 09:48:30PM -0700, Dave Gomez wrote:
Ron, although 3 minutes a day seems extreme, I don't think it's way out of the ordinary either. After reading the manual, they state that adjtimex is more elegant, but I also think it would take a long time to get it to be accurate though. What I mean is that you would have to do a long time study to understand the amount of drift you have, make an adjustment ( or an adjustment to the adjustment) and start again, except with an even longer time period. Ntp is more expedient, and at multiple times a day, with an open connection, no pain.
