I've been getting those since I rebooted a couple of days ago. This was also after a big upgrade (in testing) that included moving to ntp 1:4.2.4p0+dfsg-1 and libc6 2.5-9+b1, libhal1 0.5.9-3. There was no kernel change; it's a stock linux-image-2.6.18-4-k7 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2.
It's not obvious to me if the time is still being reset or not, though I guess the error means it isn't. On reboot the logs show Jun 5 15:02:18 iron ntpd[3518]: ntpd [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu May 10 12:55:08 UTC 2007 (1) Jun 5 15:02:18 iron ntpd[3519]: precision = 1.000 usec Jun 5 15:02:18 iron ntpd[3519]: Listening on interface #0 wildcard, 0.0.0.0#123 Disabled Jun 5 15:02:18 iron ntpd[3519]: Listening on interface #1 wildcard, ::#123 Disabled Jun 5 15:02:18 iron ntpd[3519]: Listening on interface #2 lo, ::1#123 Enabled Jun 5 15:02:18 iron ntpd[3519]: Listening on interface #3 eth0, fe80::2e0:81ff:fe26:15cb#123 Enabled Jun 5 15:02:18 iron ntpd[3519]: Listening on interface #4 lo, 127.0.0.1#123 Enabled Jun 5 15:02:18 iron ntpd[3519]: Listening on interface #5 eth0, 10.4.0.232#123 Enabled Jun 5 15:02:18 iron ntpd[3519]: kernel time sync status 0040 Jun 5 15:02:18 iron ntpd[3519]: frequency initialized 172.209 PPM from /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift Jun 5 15:02:34 iron ntpd[3519]: synchronized to 62.193.225.80, stratum 3 Jun 5 15:02:34 iron ntpd[3519]: time reset -0.486392 s Jun 5 15:02:34 iron ntpd[3519]: kernel time sync status change 0001 Jun 5 15:07:57 iron ntpd[3519]: synchronized to 132.239.1.6, stratum 1 Jun 5 16:52:49 iron ntpd[3519]: kernel time sync error 0001 Jun 5 17:57:01 iron ntpd[3519]: kernel time sync error 0001 Jun 5 18:31:10 iron ntpd[3519]: kernel time sync error 0001 Jun 5 19:39:27 iron ntpd[3519]: kernel time sync error 0001 # ntpdc -c "kerninfo" pll offset: -1.2e-05 s pll frequency: 172.636 ppm maximum error: 0.387493 s estimated error: 0.000416 s status: 0001 pll pll time constant: 6 precision: 1e-06 s frequency tolerance: 512 ppm -- Ross Boylan wk: (415) 514-8146 185 Berry St #5700 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept of Epidemiology and Biostatistics fax: (415) 514-8150 University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, CA 94107-1739 hm: (415) 550-1062 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
