Here is my /etc/ntp.conf: driftfile /etc/ntp.drift # Los Angeles, CA server gandalf.theunixman.com #Los Angeles, CA server 66.92.40.210 #Los Angeles, CA server ntp2.sf-bay.org #Riverside, CA server hydrogen.cert.ucr.edu #Los Angeles, CA server clock.develooper.com Also I didn't saw any ntp messages in clock around that time. Perhaps you're right that NTP could be blamed for it, but it's little suspicious that it happen when sendmail was sending mail (I'm apologizing, that I forgot to mention that before): Dec 26 05:40:00 chinatsu /usr/sbin/cron[51606]: (root) CMD (/usr/libexec/atrun) Dec 26 05:40:38 chinatsu sendmail[51609]: jBQDeaOY051609: from=www, size=1056, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<91133e67c96c54139e783 [EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dec 26 05:40:38 chinatsu kernel: calcru: runtime went backwards from 226760439 usec to 226756967 usec for pid 612 (sendmail) Dec 26 05:40:38 chinatsu oidentd[51611]: Connection from 127.0.0.1:61951 Dec 26 05:40:39 chinatsu kernel: calcru: runtime went backwards from 226760439 usec to 226756967 usec for pid 612 (sendmail) Dec 26 05:40:39 chinatsu oidentd[51611]: [127.0.0.1] Successful lookup: 56620 , 25 : www (www) Dec 26 05:40:39 chinatsu sm-mta[51610]: STARTTLS=server, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [127.0.0.1], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verif y=NO, cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256 Dec 26 05:40:39 chinatsu sendmail[51609]: STARTTLS=client, relay=[127.0.0.1], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=DHE-RSA -AES256-SHA, bits=256/256 Dec 26 05:40:39 chinatsu sm-mta[51610]: jBQDedXn051610: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=1155, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<91 [EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=IPv4, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [127.0.0.1] Dec 26 05:40:39 chinatsu sm-mta[51610]: jBQDedXn051610: Milter add: header: X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV 0.87.1/1217/Sat Dec 24 06: 39:31 2005 on chinatsu.takeda.tk Dec 26 05:40:39 chinatsu clamav-milter[705]: jBQDedXn051610: clean message from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dec 26 05:40:39 chinatsu sm-mta[51610]: jBQDedXn051610: Milter add: header: X-Virus-Status: Clean Dec 26 05:40:39 chinatsu sendmail[51609]: jBQDeaOY051609: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=www (80/80), delay=00:00:03, xdela y=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=31056, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (jBQDedXn051610 Message accepted for delivery) -- Best regards, Derek mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.takeda.tk -- E Pluribus Modem _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
