I have two 4801 units and they have no problem keeping time.
I have a couple of 4501, and they _do_ keep the time, with the help of ntpd, random sample: Dec 21 03:33:45 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.893647s Dec 21 03:37:45 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.859043s Dec 21 03:41:43 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.788777s Dec 21 03:44:49 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.740139s Dec 21 03:48:49 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.645784s Dec 21 03:52:22 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.761796s Dec 21 03:56:20 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.822203s Dec 21 03:59:59 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.890898s Dec 21 04:04:03 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.796980s Dec 21 04:07:44 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.740668s Dec 21 04:11:45 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.726457s Dec 21 04:15:45 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.817878s Dec 21 04:19:45 fg-router ntpd[14941]: adjusting local clock by 0.917739s which is similiar on all of the soekris boxes another sample from another box, not a soekris: Jun 5 22:21:38 cvs ntpd[2002]: adjusting local clock by -0.194812s Jun 5 23:25:42 cvs ntpd[2002]: adjusting local clock by -0.170715s Jun 6 00:38:50 cvs ntpd[2002]: adjusting local clock by -0.131455s Jun 6 00:50:41 cvs ntpd[2002]: adjusting local clock by -0.156146s Jun 6 00:55:39 cvs ntpd[10045]: peer 82.133.58.132 now invalid Jun 6 01:09:08 cvs ntpd[10045]: peer 82.133.58.132 now valid Jun 6 01:54:22 cvs ntpd[2002]: adjusting local clock by -0.142031s Jun 6 02:06:02 cvs ntpd[2002]: adjusting local clock by -0.153419s Jun 6 02:14:49 cvs ntpd[2002]: adjusting local clock by -0.181421s Jun 6 03:10:24 cvs ntpd[2002]: adjusting local clock by -0.176803s Jun 6 04:17:09 cvs ntpd[2002]: adjusting local clock by -0.142914s Jun 6 04:25:24 cvs ntpd[2002]: adjusting local clock by -0.131678s which leads me to the assumption, that the soekris boxes have drift a bit more in time. thats all. --knitti
