Hello, I am running 3.1-stable on a Pentium 90. I get a wicked time drift, something like 5 minutes fast every hour. It is not my bios clock as that is keeping correct time (it is set to UTC). I am running xntpd to attempt to stop this and it is locally synching to another FBSD box which is keeping accurate time. I have run tzsetup and set it to UTC as well with EDT as the timezone. When xntpd starts up it seems to be fine: Jun 2 16:10:37 ary xntpd[106]: xntpd version=3.4e (beta multicast); Mon Feb 15 10:12:13 GMT 1999 (1) Jun 2 16:10:37 ary xntpd[106]: tickadj = 5, tick = 10000, tvu_maxslew = 495 But upon inspection of the time about an hour later, the clock has drifted again 5 minutes fast and continues to drift about 5 minutes/hour. There is no other logging in /var/log/messages from xntpd after starting it. If I restart the machine and check the bios it is correctly set to UTC and the accurate time. Is this a bug with 3.1-stable or am I missing something?
