Hi Folks,
I've discovered that the hardware clock on one of my machines is running about 2/3 slow: loses about 20min in each hour.
For the time being, I'm writing the system time to it every so often, and the system time is updated hourly by NTP.
But the principal irritation of it is that the system clock is set from the HW clock on bootup, so I have to make provision to over-ride that.
I don't know of any important system functions that directly consult the HW clock rather than the system clock. Do you?
Also -- and here I'd really welcome good ideas -- does anyone have any suggestions for why this might be happening, and/or for what to so about it?
With thanks, Ted.
