RE: I'm going nuts

["Mugleston, Brad" <brad mugleston gwl com>]

Been there done that - I finally disabled chrony and the clock now matches
the hardware clock - must be something in the chrony files but I had deleted
all of the data files I could fine and on boot it would regenerate them all
with these large adjustment numbers in them and I would be a day ahead of
myself so I must have missed one somewhere.  With chrony off I don't get my
daily clock correction but I guess that isn't as bad as being off by 24
hours.

If any of you have any ideas about working with Chrony I'd appreciate it as
my son is due home from school in a few weeks and my network will be up most
of the time again and that's when I was having so much drift I would be off
quite a bit in a week.

Thanks

Brad
