As to problems with adjtime(2) and SMP machines, there is a small diff from tedu@ on tech@ at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-tech&m=113592306900483&w=2, which stemmed from the discussion on misc@ around the same time, involving another SMP machine with severely screwed timekeeping - in fact, it was so bad that NTPd couldn't keep up. Ted's diff allows NTP to keep up with time slew even on very imprecise hosts. It's a workaround, but might work for you. Joachim
