Clock Drift, Any Ideas ?


Thanks for reading this thread.

I am running Suse 9.0, and for every 24 hours of uptime, my clock drifts aprox. 20 minutes. I do not have xntp installed. I understand by using NTP, it could be helpfull. I'm just wondering if anybody has ever had this problem, and posible causes. My cmos battery is somewhat new, and the time correct. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Just use an NTP server.
Talking with a bunch of guys in the office the other day we have identical machines One guy has his drift a few minutes faster a week, the other has his loose a few minutes a week, and I just use a NTP server and don't worry about it.
