How stable is your temperature? Are you rebooting a happy system? (If so why?) Or are you powering up a system that has been off for the night? If your drift file is off, I would expect things like this: > Also, even if we set the time pretty much perfect (within 5ms offset), ntpd > appears to first *increase* the offset to well out of our spec, then correct > through zero offset - overshooting the other way (again well out of our > spec) and then typically crawls back in after which it is stable - and > ultimately wonderfully accurate and stable. If your temperature is unstable, I think you are going to have troubles getting started cleanly. (Note that CPU activity may influence your temperature.) Since you seem willing to hack the sources, I would suggest finding the code where it does the once-only big step and making that do small steps too, even if it wouldn't normally do a step. That may not work, but it's what I would try first. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
