However, usually problems like this are related to CMOS batteries, and their eventual death. I'm not quite as familiar with SPARC hardware as with x86 hardware, but I suspect the problem to be similar. I got these systems rather cheaply from eBay, and as they are 10+ years old, I don't know how much replacement hardware will be floating around. ;-) Be that as it may, I've managed to get the net-misc/ntp package installed and configured. It isn't so much the extra overhead of running the ntpd that I was concerned about. I just didn't want to install apache2, php, and the slew of other "heavyweight" applications that it was wanting to install. - -- gentux echo "hfouvyAdpy/ofu" | perl -pe 's/(.)/chr(ord($1)-1)/ge' gentux's gpg fingerprint ==> 34CE 2E97 40C7 EF6E EC40 9795 2D81 924A 6996 0993 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEAlO2LYGSSmmWCZMRAuwCAJwJHztmMMxlHXwlTDLZzjQe233eAQCfaCNy Qwp/sW9ffnWsQnYhI88UO0k= =Kj0s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
