This is a wellknown problem. When you do a couple of ntpd shutdown/restarts e.g. because you a experimenting with different server configurations, the combination of ntpd and the kernel goes haywire and it will actually steer the time the wrong way. Just wait a day or so, and it will have solved itself. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
