I'm unsure about modern hardware, but older machines often suffered from clock-drift, and could be particularly affected by system load and/or weak/dying CMOS batteries. I'm unsure if ntpdate sets the hardware clock; if it does, I would doubt this explanation. If not, I would suspect this as the problem. As far as some of your apps exhibiting strange behaviour, I can only assume they're clock-sensitive in some way. -- Kent West Westing Peacefully <http://kentwest.blogspot.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
