:)) 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! Yassen Damyanov Troyer Information Systems -- [email protected] mailing list
