Hi, Ivan, David,
Hi,
For about half a year I have another weirdness with time on my -current box without vmware, maybe it's somehow has common origins with your behaviour. When I boot FreeBSD, ntpdate (which is set up to run via rc.conf) often reports huge time offsets: 10 Jul 12:04:34 ntpdate[51761]: step time server ntp.server.name offset 234456.074166 sec I have so far only noticed that the value of the the offset is roughly equal to the amount of time when FreeBSD isn't running (this is adual-boot box with windows). The box is pretty old, 600-MHz Celeron
Is the above number correct (i.e. ~~ 65 hours)? I noticed there can be a consistent "shift" of duration equal to your timezone when VMWare sets the RTC to the host's local time and FreeBSD thinks it's UTC. But if the difference is not constant, it's not it.
