Drew, Please excuse me jumping in here. I have seen no other emails in this thread so maybe I'm wasting time. I hope not. I have a number of Gentoo machines. For some reason in the last week or 10 days my AMD64 machine stopped keeping time. I'd boot it in the morning and even the day would be off. It was horrible. With a little help from others I found that, at least in my case, I needed to start running ntp-client in the default run level. I never ran this before but there appears to have been change recently that has made it more important. Either that or I was just lucky before. I've since added ntp-client on all the machines and things are now dead on as far as I can tell. One other thing that was recommended to me was to remove the /etc/adjust file when doing this. I did that also. Again, if all of this has already been covered I apologize for taking up too much time. Good luck, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
