Could it be you are running both ntpdate in an hourly cron job and also running ntpd (service ntpd status)? Otherwise I really have no idea what could be setting your system clock. Did you check /var/log/messages for clues about what is updating your system clock? Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste? Stop the use of depleted uranium ammo!
