Gentoo recently changed some things related to ntpd. There are now two separate services: ntpd and ntp-client. ntpd starts up the usual daemon that runs in the background and keeps your time in sync continuously. ntp-client does a one time sync, at bootup. Maybe the change has caused ntp to not work correctly on your system anymore?
I think the location of the configuration files has also changed recently: /etc/conf.d/ntpd and /etc/conf.d/ntp-client. You could also try searching on the Gentoo forums to see if anyone else has similar problems. -- Owen On Mon, Jul 18, 2005 at 07:34:21PM +0000, Randall Barlow wrote: > Michael Tharp wrote: > > > /etc/conf.d/clock should do it, just comment out the rc.conf definition. > > OK, so now the clock doesn't change itself to random times anymore, but > I've been noticing that the clock is now drifting away from the correct > time slowly.
