NTP's task is to synchronize the system time. The OS' task is to keep the system time (during reboots). As you are using Linux, you could have a look at my PPSkit patches where the kernel updates the RTC chip whenever the system had been changed (e.g. "date -s"), or when the system time is NTP-synced (!STA_UNSYNC). For your pleasure, you can switch that on and off, and select the interval of updates. Ulrich > > My question does ntpd at any point changes the hardware clock ?
