Your comment brings us full circle on this thread... that's the whole point: if the log message were clear you wouldn't have to read a man page to divine its meaning. So, yes - I agree with you: if something is unclear, you look it up. In this particular case however, the log message *was* clear. Unfortunately, it is also worded incorrectly. In this case, I did read the man page, and frankly, I think it's a little fuzzy also. At least it wasn't clear enough to revise the false impression that the log entry created. > > It's certainly not a big deal, but it's > > easy enough to polish the priceless msg next time you're in there. > > > > > > 'adjusting local clock rate to compensate XXs offset" > > That's even more confusing. At least it's not incorrect. How about: 1) local clock error=XXs, adjusting or, 2) adjusting local clock, error=XXs
