Wrong. NTP will fail to update the clock if the hardware clock skew is too large. NTP cannot operate without a reasonably stable internal hardware clock.Glenn English wrote:
Many thanks for all the suggestions, especially the ones pointing me away from the soldering iron. I still don't understand this at all. But booting a FreeBSD install disk seems to have fixed my clock. The prospect of being replaced scared Sarge into getting it's act together, I guess. Earlier today (before bsd), Sarge's clock was even running *backward* sometimes.
I don't want to argue if you are happy, but it doesn't sound fixed to me. NTP should keep your clock on time to within a few miliseconds. If you notice any abrupt changes that means NTP is definitely not working.
