Is it running on vmware by chance? ------Original Message------ From: Jon Schewe Sender: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org To: TCLUG List Subject: [tclug-list] Odd problem with system clock Sent: May 28, 2009 5:11 PM I've got an opensuse 11.0 system with kernel 2.6.25 and I'm finding that with or without ntp running the system clock falls way behind. Checking hwclock shows the correct time, but date is hours behind. Right after ntp starts up I see this: jen:/home/jpschewe # ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== ntp2.lax-noc.co 204.123.2.5 2 u 19 64 1 16.088 127006. 3.906 skywiley.com 192.43.244.18 2 u 18 64 1 16.285 130991. 3.906 tesla.fireduck. 132.239.1.6 2 u 17 64 1 13.431 134998. 3.906 At this point I've just set the system time to match the hardware clock and it's within a minute of reality, however that offset column seem way to large for something this close.
