Did it think the time was correct, or was it in the process of adjusting it? If you think you've found a problem, details of NetTime's status and a bug report to ROOL would be useful. > I would like to see something added to the OS for this, 3 minutes adrift > and not corrected is a bit poor to say the least. NetTime does not, for very good reasons, force a step change on the clock for relatively small errors. Instead, it speeds up or slows down the clock until it converges with reality (and then continues to adjust the length of a tick so that the two stay in step thereafter). This is the same approach that other systems use, and it avoids problems such as time apparently going backwards as far as applications are concerned. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/ --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/armini-support List-related queries to info@xxxxxxxxxxxx
