The mechanism is exactly as in any other x86 based hardware, with the
exception of not being persistant across power outage. Please look at
the hwclock command, this is what I see on my WRAP, which uses the
original ntpd stuff, which is a bit bigger, but that does not bother me.
gatekeeper# hwclock ; date;
Wed Feb 10 17:04:04 2010 0.000000 seconds
Wed Feb 10 17:04:03 UTC 2010
so my hwclock runs a bit faster than the system clock, which is kept
updated by ntp, let's just adjust it
gatekeeper# hwclock -w
gatekeeper# hwclock ; date;
Wed Feb 10 17:05:55 2010 0.000000 seconds
Wed Feb 10 17:05:55 UTC 2010
here is the ntp status
gatekeeper# ntpq -np
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset
jitter
