Did you try this??? Try -x with ntpd.
-x Ordinarily, if the time is to be adjusted more than 128 ms, it is stepped, not gradually slewed. This option forces the time to be slewed in all cases. Note: Since the slew rate is limited to 0.5 ms/s, each second of adjustment requires an amortization interval of 2000 s. Thus an adjustment of many seconds can take hours or days to amortize. } -----Original Message----- } From: [email protected] [mailto:hlds_linux- } [email protected]] On Behalf Of kama } Sent: Saturday, July 18, 2009 7:55 AM } To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list } Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Counter-Strike 1.6 Update Available } } } The problem here isnt that the time drifts, its that cs1.6 servers will } stop running when he correct the drift.
