Tzafrir, Gilad
It sounds to me like a case of a very sick realtime clock - maybe the motherboard is sensitive to voltage fluctuations - i think the clock might be a vco
Are you using ntpd? If not - I would try running ntpd and see if the problem goes away

Hi
I have a strange problem here: the system clock of my server keeps changing. The following is from the output of 'date' run from the same shell about 1 second apart:
12:13:37 13:25:08 12:13:34
As you can see, the clock occasionally loops back (it keeps in the range 12:13:34-38) and occasionally decides to move about 72 minutes forward.
OK, this is getting kind of weird...
Just yesterday a client of mine asked me to help with a problem with an Asterisk installation running on Xorcom's Rapid (that is debian sarge + asterisk). The problem was that Asterisk seems to just exit for no apperant reason from time to time.
Going over the config and logs the only thing I found was that the system time seems to behave in a weird way, it seems that different program have different notion of the system time. e.g.:
# init q
and
# logger "test"
will produce syslog entries which are 4 hours apart...
Such behaviour can surely explain sidden program shutdown (at least a program that uses timers)
I have no idea if this is related, but it sure is strange to hear about a time drift related issue with sarge.
In short, I'd really like to hear if anyone has any idea how to resolve this too :-)
