Yes. Now I let it run on its own, without ntpd, through the last night and send me a mail (I am not at it) each minute. Starting at 19.00 exactly, with a single rdate -s, at 23.00 the mail said 21.00. So the factor is 2, pretty exact. When I get to the box later, I will reboot with single CPU kernel. Since it goes into production today, I need it to be up. If necessary, I will have to rdate it once per minute to advance its clock by 30 seconds each minute. I consider this quite a bug, by now.
