I am using ntpdate as a cron to update the time every hour. Now it seems that my clock is off by at least -.014 seconds every hour. Is this normal? Why is off so much in one hour? Here is the average output form cron: 22 Jan 07:00:00 ntpdate[1891]: ntpdate 4.0.99b Mon Jan 15 19:24:58 GMT 2001 (1) 22 Jan 07:00:00 ntpdate[1891]: adjust time server 17.254.0.27 offset -0.148541 sec TIA -randy ========================================== freebsd@randys.org spitfire.randys.org For-pay Internet distributed processing. http://www.ProcessTree.com/?sponsor=11087 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
