To build a bridge between this question and Mike's reply: This problem has nothing to do with ntpd. ntpd's ability to adjust the clock is limited by adjtime(), which can correct time up to a generous maximum of 5 milliseconds for each second. If your clock drift is worse than that, your clock is broken. Which alas is the case for vm. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
