The more I compile, the faster the time goes. Good grief! Is the system trying to tell me something? No, I'm _not_ joking. I heard of real time, but this is crazy. Any idea what I could've done to the thing to cause this? I tried deleting the /etc/wall_clock_thingy, then I commented adjkerntz out of /etc/rc, but nothing seems affect it. When I boot the system, it starts at the bios time. It's OK for a while then whooooosh...... Could it be seeing the xntpd packets that OSF/1 puts out? -- John Birrell CIMlogic Pty Ltd jb@cimlogic.com.au 119 Cecil Street Ph +61 3 9690 9600 South Melbourne Vic 3205 Fax +61 3 9690 6650 Australia Mob +61 18 353 137
