[rhn-users] System Time Fast

[Erik McCormick]

I've had this same problem with WS3 on multiple hardware platforms.  I can't
even use NTPD to keep them straight because they drift so much that NTPD
can't keep up.  I have to do a forced ntpdate from a cron job to keep them
in line.  This has been a problem since the day I took them out of the box.
The problem systems are both AMD Opteron w/ a Tyan motherboard, and Intel
Xeon Supermicro boxes.

This is happening across 6 brand new servers and I don't think that all of 
them have a CMOS battery problem.
