:)) Well, *that* was funny :))
Sorry, was completely unintentional...

So I repeat my request for those who thought it was
spam:


I'm looking for anyone using clockspeed successfully on
amd64.

I have a success story 2 years ago using it on a Redhat 6
system to correct a terribly drifting clock. It did a
*perfect* job for me.

Now I am trying to use it to correct a clock that speeds up
about 1 sec. per hour, this on a Gentoo Linux / amd64 box,
and it does not work for me.

Here's a log of what I did, following the INSTALL.gz:

# DIARY of of the clockspeed tunning process:

# YD, 2005-11-28:
# (#4) Tunned the clock via
#    sntpclock `sntphost.sh` | clockadd
# (#5) Then started clockspeed and gave it a time measurement:
#    clockspeed &
#    sntpclock `sntphost.sh` > /var/lib/clockspeed/adjust &
#
# YD, 2005-11-30:
# (#6) second time measurement given via
#    sntpclock `sntphost.sh` > /var/lib/clockspeed/adjust &
#
# YD, 2005-12-06: bad, clock drifting is now
# before: 2005-12-06 07:51:29.438417000000000000
# after:  2005-12-06 07:51:15.661924499920696019

(sntphost.sh simply returns one IP address of a near-by sntp
server.)

I am absolutely ignorant about any details of how clockspeed
works, so forgive me any stupidity.

I am also aware that this sounds more like a question for the
clockspeed list itself, but I've already done that and got no
reply.

What I can add to the above report: trying to access the atto file
fails, as it simply does not exist. The /var/lib/clockspeed/ looks
this way:

dedi root # ls -la /var/lib/clockspeed/
total 6
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   38 Nov 28 09:23 .
drwxr-xr-x  16 root root 4096 Nov 30 10:28 ..
prw-------   1 root root    0 Nov 30 12:01 adjust
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  176 Feb 17  2005 leapsecs.dat

Do I miss something? What might be wrong? I would appreciate
any help -- thank you!
