Have you tried switching servers?
I'm using
server 0.au.pool.ntp.org
server 1.au.pool.ntp.org
Try the equivalent for your location, or there are 0.gentoo.pool.ntp.org and
so on.
I have. I started out with the same servers on my old rig and changed
them to see if it would matter a week or so ago. I use this command to
get the best servers:
netselect -s 3 pool.ntp.org
That generally works pretty well. I try to update them every once in a
while. I'm thinking about removing the router and hooking directly to
my DSL modem. That's the only thing that has changed from the old rig
to the new rig. This is how close the old rig is and it is hooked to
the router too:
r...@smoker / # ntpdate -b -u -q pool.ntp.org
server 72.26.125.125, stratum 2, offset -0.000087, delay 0.09828
server 64.34.218.21, stratum 2, offset -0.002207, delay 0.09799
server 149.20.68.17, stratum 2, offset 0.009124, delay 0.13466
6 Jan 23:23:31 ntpdate[15816]: step time server 64.34.218.21 offset
-0.002207 sec
r...@smoker / #
According to the log, it synced a hour or so ago and the previous sync
was about 7 hours before that. Now why can't my new rig do that?
