One day after the lenny upgrade and last boot of the machine, there does not seem to be a great time drift. I was running something like
while :; do date; /bin/ps -o lstart,command | grep /ps; date done and that showed: ... Thu May 14 13:18:42 EST 2009 Thu May 14 13:18:42 2009 /bin/ps -o lstart,command Thu May 14 13:18:42 EST 2009 Thu May 14 13:18:43 EST 2009 Thu May 14 13:18:43 2009 /bin/ps -o lstart,command Thu May 14 13:18:43 EST 2009 (above block repeated 22 times) Thu May 14 13:18:43 EST 2009 Thu May 14 13:18:42 2009 /bin/ps -o lstart,command <<< note bad time Thu May 14 13:18:43 EST 2009 Thu May 14 13:18:43 EST 2009 Thu May 14 13:18:43 2009 /bin/ps -o lstart,command Thu May 14 13:18:43 EST 2009 (above block repeated 8 times) Thu May 14 13:18:44 EST 2009 Thu May 14 13:18:44 2009 /bin/ps -o lstart,command Thu May 14 13:18:44 EST 2009 ... which would suggest something other than a few milliseconds drift. Rather curious; the "bad time" always positioned about the 3/4 of the elapsed second...
