Somebody in the thread at some point said: > P.S. Without NTP, system clock seem to run too fast on this machine... ntp has a "sanity check" limit, if the actual clock and the ntp time differ by more than this (1000s? one thousand somethings IIRC) then it just gives up. I also have a dual core AMD box where the clock is going nuts, much faster than normal, and ntpd is powerless confronted with the temporal madness. -Andy
