Anders: I hesitate to throw what may be just another red herring into the discussion, but there are a number of 600-second defaults floating around Linux, and it is possible you're getting tripped up by one of them rather than by some clock problem.
For example, by default, the stock Ubuntu 7.10 on my home PC clears the ip4 routing table every 600 seconds (defined in /proc/sys/net/ip4/secret_interval). I would assume the time it takes to do this is dependent on the size of the routing table (this created a problem with a Redhat system we built at work to monitor experiments). I also used to trip over the various ways screen blanking intervals are defined in X11, though that seems an unlikely cause of your problem. It's too bad no one has created a list of all the default times defined in Linux distributions (or it they have, it's too bad I'm too stupid to be able to find such lists!). Just my two cents worth. Good hunting! Kent ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
