Subject: [9fans] timesync doubletime
Date: Mon,  7 Aug 2006 19:12:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f157e88f8c3aa52a456e862741e34902@quanstro.net> (raw)

the rtc clock in one of my machines runs a bit slow -- maybe 2 minutes a month.
i ran timesync -h /srv/sources and now the system clock runs ~28 sec/min too fast.
killing timesync had no effect.

; cat /dev/rtc > /dev/time ; sleep 60 ; date ; date `{cat /dev/rtc}
