If your clock is drifting very badly, this may cause ntp to be unable to correct it. 2) If your clock is drifting as badly as you describe, you may benefit from switching to a different hardware clock. You can see which clocks are available via the sysctl kern.timecounter.choice, then trying changing kern.timecounter.hardware. 3) Check the logs for messages. Normal operation produces stuff like this: May 25 08:21:17 pa-plum1b-166 ntpd[130]: time set -32.027468 s May 25 09:04:19 pa-plum1b-166 ntpd[130]: time reset 0.758199 s 4) If the logs don't help, you can run ntpd in debugging mode with -d or -D <level> > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Greenwood [mailto:greenwood.andy@gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 4:11 PM > To: Jean-Paul Natola > Cc: Peter A.
