Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with ntpd and my system clock. Every once and a while, my system time is wrong. In the past (not having time to look into it), I've just run ntp-client to correct it.
Turns out that ntpd is crashing and `date` reports the UTC time, but thinks it's Eastern. This time I didn't correct the time and tried rebooting a few times. ntpd crashes within 5 minutes of boot, leading me to suspect the the time being off is what's causing ntpd to crash. Info about my system: I dual boot with windows, so my /etc/conf.d/hwclock looks like this: > clock="local" > clock_systohc="YES" > clock_hctosys="YES" > clock_args="" I also have CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS and CONFIG_RTC_SYSTORC set in my kernel. ntpd is in my default runlevel, ntp-client is not. My /etc/ntp.conf looks like this: > server 0.gentoo.pool.ntp.org > server 1.gentoo.pool.ntp.org > server 2.gentoo.pool.ntp.org > server 3.gentoo.pool.ntp.org > driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift > restrict default nomodify nopeer noquery > restrict 127.0.0.1 What am I doing wrong? Where should I look for more information on the problem? Randy
