Dear all, I have found my system clock 4 minutes faster than the standard time. I remembered I have sysced with a ntp server before. To be precise, it will get 1.029561 sec faster in a two-hour interval. Does anyone else have the same experience? Do you think it is due to hardware or the kernel?
That's about 140 ppm (parts per million). Bad, but I guess within PC tolerances.
Keep the machine on ntp at all times if possible. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
