I 'm hoping someone has some advice for me.. My computer's clock seems to
be have a hard time maintaining it's accuracy while running lately..
Now I've used computers long enough that I expect a bit of drift, but I've
seen this thing drift as far as 40min. off in a few hours.. and left
to it's own ends for a few days it will be happy as a clam several hours
(or days) ahead of where it should be...
Now I can run ntpdate, that's not a problem, but I'm not always connected
to the net, and I've had a few issues where ntp running in the middle of a
compile throws the compile off ("Clock skew detected"). Things in general
don't like to have datestamps in the future..
I haven't replaced the CMOS battery, but this is happening while the
system is on, so I didn't think that that would be an issue.
Any advice would be appreciated as I don't enjoy showing up to work half
an hour earlier than I need to.. *grins*
