I read that one, and it refers to how ntpdate steps or slews. I don't see any mention that xntpd behaves like ntpdate. > If the error is greater than 1000 sec, xntpd won't waste its time. > Not sure what you mean by "steps... every so often, ... slews every day". On my Unix box, every few days I see xnptd has stepped the clock. But every day, I see it slewing the clock with calls to adjtime. It chooses to step if the difference is > 0.5 sec. I'd like to be more help on the Linux side of things, but the whole date/time subystem in Oxygen is broken w.r.t. timezones, so it's a disaster for me to even try.
