[ CUTS BIG BLOTCHES OF REPLIED TEXT] Well, don't take me to hard on this since I don't have quotes or links to back it up, and frankly I'm too lazy to pop up google right now and find the quotes for you ;) , but, I recall the timekeeping problem boiling down to changes with preemptive and lockbreaking systems, along with some changes to how the kernels internal tick's go. as said, running hwclock --hw2sys in a cronjob would work, but only at the price of brutalizing your logs, causing make to fail (it checks timestamps, and you just changed time on a running kernel) and generally cocking things up. Better to use ntp mainly because of its small sync changes. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus! Please copy me into your .signature!
