Have seen this problem in vmware virtual machines where linux is a guest. The fix is to add a parameter in grub/lilo. Check google if there is a fix.
NTP won't help you here because it tries to change the time gradually, but then the time drifts again and so on and so forth. Besides, NTP is smart enough not trust itself for time. run ntpq -pn and you will see. -- regards, Andre | http://www.varon.ca On 9/20/07, thad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Has anyone encountered a system clock that run too fast?
