- re: UnRuly timed
-
- PROBLEM: machines synchronizing their clocks keep losing time
- (about 5 minutes per day).
-
- SETUP:
- - We have three SGI machines, each running 4.0.5
- (names: nrc3d, clsm and nrc-iris)
-
- - The current "timed.options" file on machine nrc3d looks like this:
-
- -P /usr/tmp/.timetrim -F localhost clsm nrc-iris.nrc.uab.edu
-
- (each machine lists itself and the other two as
- trusted time machines)
-
- - Each timed starts with the -M option, which SGI writes into
- the "network" init script.
-
- SO:
- The machines do keep the same time, but the time drifts backwards
- about 5 minutes a day. Why does this happen, and what can I do
- to make it stop??
