Interesting... My machine is still right on time... Of course, it's been up almost six days now, and operates as stratum 2/3 NTP server for most of our network (four Sun-4s and an SGI 4D/480 at the moment, plus all their broadcast clients). Did your machine experience a reboot before you noticed this? [For the interested, here's my current clock stats. The host is an AT&T 6386/20 (Olivetti motherboard): reftime=af92a36c.82ad2000 Wed, May 5 1993 16:34:52.510, poll=9, clock=af92a454.6d1ee000 Wed, May 5 1993 16:38:44.426, phase=11.757, freq=-61704.48, compliance=3 I don't know how this compares to other systems; the frequency offset given translates to -58.8 ppm, which is certainly within the limits of NTP's performance.] -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
