Well, from googling around, it seems that a few seconds per day of drift between the system clock and hardware clock is considered perfectly normal, and the adjtimex/hwclock/cron solution is really the only option for synchronizing the two, while NTP is the best solution. Indeed the normal case is for both system and hardware clocks to drift away from the real time. You mentioned you were behind a firewall and couldn't use NTP. I am curious, because most networks I have connected to have only disabled NTP access if they provide an internal NTP server. Have you asked the network admins if there is an NTP server available? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
