The 'date' test seems to work fine: # date && sleep 60 && date Thu Aug 28 15:52:19 CDT 2008 Thu Aug 28 15:53:19 CDT 2008 Within a second of one another, I ran: lguest: cat /dev/time 1219956674 1219956674748050432 1219956674748050432 4294967296 host: date +%s 1219943774 So lguest is 12900 seconds ahead (= 215 minutes, = 3 hrs 35 minutes). John, are you getting the same? Best, Alex -- Alex Lee
