Slave your system to a trusted Net host using 'netdate' and then set your CMOS clock from that using 'hwclock'. I have a cron job that does this nightly; you may wish to run it every 3 or 4 hours. It's probably due to your SCSI card stealing interrupts that would otherwise update the clock. You might be able to configure your SCSI host adapter to use less interrupts or get a bus mastering adapter. --Bill. -- William R Ward Bay View Consulting http://www.bayview.com/~hermit/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1803 Mission St. #339 voicemail +1 408/479-4072 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Santa Cruz CA 95060 USA pager +1 408/458-8862 PGP Key 0x2BD331E5; Public key at http://www.bayview.com/~hermit/pubkey.txt -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
