[OpenIndiana-discuss] ntpd not keeping time in sync

2011-07-09 Thread Christopher Chan
Hi all, Would flaky electricity cause the system clock to go 'haywire' and ntpd to generate logs such as: Jul 7 22:46:33 bradsuper1 ntpd[25341]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] frequency error 512 PPM exceeds tolerance 500 PPM Jul 7 23:02:31 bradsuper1 ntpd[25341]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] freq

Christopher, A silly question... Is this on a dual-boot system? I had a problem on one machine where booting windows would change the bios clock so bringing up OpenIndiana would be an hour off. I suppose this could be true of a virtual machine resetting the time as well. Gary On 7/9/11 9:

AFAIK, at least historically, the hardware battery clock time is expected (without some tweaks, to the extent that a given version allowed those) by Windows to be in local time. Operating systems that keep their internal time in something else (.e.g. Unix and related, where it's supposed to be
