I'm having an interesting experience with one of my Debian machines. I've got a few, all synchronized with ntp. One of them always reports the time as 20 seconds slow.
As an example, I do this: --- radha# date ; date +%s Tue Jun 23 09:41:48 EDT 1998 898609308 --- and at the same time I do this krishna# date ; date +%s Tue Jun 23 09:41:28 EDT 1998 898609308 -- Radha returns the correct time, Krishna is 20 seconds late. Please note that I am getting 2 different time strings for the same time integer. I'm sure somebody knows what's going on. They're both running bo with libc5.4.38-1 and shellutils 1.16-2. Maybe Krishna doesn't know about leap-seconds? TIA - Marsh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
