 Richard, David - check your hardware clock "# hwclock -r" and compare that to the time returned by "# date". If they are hours apart, then make sure your sysclock is correct and set the hardware clock to your sysclock with "# hwclock -w". Worth checking regardless.  I know this used to be done on boot or shutdown and I don't know why it isn't anymore. I'll do some more digging.

your machine reboots because of a drifting clock? i don't understand. aren't you running ntpd (not openntpd)? <---- *HINT* *HINT*, if not ;-) -- C Anthony
