How long does it take for the daemon to fix the
clock drift? The daemon has been running for
9 hours and my clock is off by 6 minutes. Without
ntpd my clock would have been off by roughly the
same amount. |

if you gotta, run ntpdate before starting ntpd...i've got ntpdate in a
cron job set for daily, i get a drift of a few seconds a day, i'm not
hyper critical on that, like i used to be.
I did run ntpdate just before I started ntpd. Nine hours later
the entry in /etc/ntp/drift was still 0.000. When does it get
changed? |

If so it seems as if ntpd hasn't succeeded in keeping your clock
synchronized. What output do you get from ntptrace?
