I just installed 3.8 on a Soekris net4801 that's been laying around for a while (unused, unpowered). I noticed after install that time was off by like 5 months, so I set it to within a few minutes of current time/date from the wall clock.
I've been checking the logs, and this is what I'm seeing... this has been going on for about 8 hours now. Why is ntpd having to make 60+ second adjustments every 3-5 minutes? It would appear the clock on the Soekris is really BFU. I researched this a bit, and found out there were (are) some issues with timekeeping on the net4801's processor, but the other platforms (Linux, FreeBSD) seemed to have solved the problem by using a different clock. I saw nothing that would suggest any current problems with OpenBSD. WTF, O?
