well, do this:<br>add to ntpd a dependence of net.ethx so that it doesn&#39;t starts if it this service didn&#39;t start. after that go to <a href="http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com">http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com</a> and sync your time, and put to 
0.000000 the first number in the /etc/adjtime&nbsp; file. after that if our pc doesn&#39;t automatically sync it would be have been sync. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2008/1/15, Mark Haney &lt;<a href="mailto:mhaney@ercbroadband.org">

<br>doesn&#39;t want to stay sync&#39;d.&nbsp;&nbsp;I always run ntpd at boot time to keep it<br>in sync, but now, when I boot without an ethernet cable hooked up, it&#39;s<br>over 5 hours off.&nbsp;&nbsp;It didn&#39;t do this until I updated the timezone just
<br>after Christmas.&nbsp;&nbsp;/etc/conf.d/clock is set to my timezone (EST5EDT) and<br>/etc/localtime is symlinked to the correct timezone.<br><br>I thought maybe the BIOS clock was wrong, but it&#39;s not 5 hours off,<br>maybe a minute or so.&nbsp;&nbsp;I tried setting the HWclock to system time and
<br>that didn&#39;t fix it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any ideas on what else to try?<br><br>--<br>Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem!<br><br><br>Mark Haney<br>Sr. Systems Administrator<br>ERC Broadband<br>(828) 350-2415<br><br>Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support
