Clock drift is a known problem the the 68k Macs under *n*x, so I thought installing the NTP daemon would solve the problem. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case with default settings. Is there any type of option I can use with ntpd, or other trick I can do, to get ntpd to maintain the correct date on my SE/30? It seems to do fine as long as there's no load on the machine, but whenever I start a fairly intensive task (4 hour software compile) the clock slips beyond the "sanity threshold" of ntpd, and the daemon dies.
I've tried to run it with the slew option, so it would accept large clock adjustments if it had drifted a large amount between syncs. But that didn't seem to work. I can manually reset the date as root and restart the daemon, but that defeats the purpose. Any ideas appreciated.
