Anybody else ran into this? Am I missing something that is different
on a 64 bit rig?
I discovered chrony some years ago, which has a sophisticated clock
slewing mechanism, and haven't used ntp since.
Chrony runs on my gateway machine to maintain a stable time source for
the boxes inside, which are a mixture of 32- and 64-bit. I just don't
think about timekeeping any more.
You might want to give it a try.
I'll give it some thought. I was the same way about ntp on my old rig.
I set it up and it "just worked". It just doesn't work on this rig.
I let the unstable package run a good while and it never did create a
drift file. I emerged the stable version and it created a drift file
but it is still reseting almost 1 second every ten minutes. On the old
rig, once it got the drift file set up with a good value, it only synced
a few times a day and set maybe once a day and it was very little. On
the new rig, its having to reset every few minutes and still can't get
it right.
This is weird.
