I had run the kernel now for over 2^31 clock ticks and had no drifting problem so far. I will now set HZ back to 500 - let's see what happens in 50 days...

Before that I had the usual corrections if you run ntp over a dialup line with large variations in round trip times (around one correction every few days).

Right, but look at a cvs log src/sys/kern/kern_tc.c... I've fixed at least one bug in the NTP steering since then. >If someone runs -CURRENT with default HZ of 100 and moans 247 days >later, his -CURRENT cannot be called -CURRENT any more... :-) >I am now running an up-to-date -CURRENT.

I had the same symptoms (drifting about 2 minutes an hour) on sources before April 17 or so. Since then, ntpd has only logged 5 time updates, as opposed to 3 per hour. Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Re: clock drift in -CURRENT
When was your source tree from on that kernel ? I'm not too confident in your diagnosis, mostly because we don't have a counter like you describe :-) My guess is that ntpd get confused. Please try a newer kernel, a number of bug(lets) have been fixed since march. If it happens again, please email me the output of: ntpdc -c peer ntpdc -c loopi ntpdc -c kerni dmesg Thanks!
