.42 s/ 1 hr is about 116 ppm stability 350 s/ 5 days is about 810 ppm stability 116 ppm stability is certainly within the specification of most quartz crystals and PC southbridges. 810 ppm stability is a little sloppier than I would expect, but certainly not outside the realm of possibility. It could be a bug, but I wouldn't bet on it. The standard answer of "run NTP" applies. An $8.00 wristwatch has much better time accuracy that your multi-$100 PC. -a To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
