Yep, I just use ntp (see BLFS). My hardware clock seems to gain even
Tried this and went for the first option mentioned in the BLFS-book: Option one is to run ntpd continuously and allow it to synchronize the time in a gradual manner. That is, I installed /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntp. When I run it, I get this: >ps aux | grep ntpd < nothing reported > >/etc/rc.d/init.d/ntp status /usr/sbin/ntpd is not running. >/etc/rc.d/init.d/ntp start Starting ntpd... ntpd: time slew -34.332020s Unable to continue: /usr/sbin/ntpd is running [ WARN ] When looking into the script, I see that there are two lines, ntpd -gqx loadproc /usr/sbin/ntpd On my machine, it seems that the second command causes ntpd to fail to start because it thinks it is already running. Should there be inserted a small pause in between these two commands? [Correction, I think it is the 'loadproc' that wrongly thinks ntpd is running.] Reading the comment at the top of 'loadproc', it says "will be removed after BLFS 6.0" (a check for PIDFILE I guess). Maybe this is not a good idea, or maybe I have gotten a mixture of some pre-6.0 and post-6.0 BLFS_stuff infecting my system?
