I think your initial goal was synchronization to 10 microseconds. Do you really need that for NFS? (Do file times include the fractions of a second?) Most interaction with the outside world is via a network connection. Is some box out there really going to be able to tell if your clock is off by 10 microseconds? (Hint: If so, keeping clocks synchronized would be much easier.) >- I can't have any clock step, because I have some application that assume >there is no one. If clock steps occur, my applications will be screwed up. It may be simpler to fix your application than to keep clocks from going backwards. What will happen if time does go backwards? How are you going to recover if something screws up and your time gets set ahead by an hour, a day, or a year, and then runs for a while? -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
