:)) Well, *that* was funny :)) |

Sorry, was completely unintentional... |

So I repeat my request for those who thought it was |

I'm looking for anyone using clockspeed successfully on |
16 |
amd64. |
17 |
|
18 |
I have a success story 2 years ago using it on a Redhat 6 |
19 |
system to correct a terribly drifting clock. It did a |
20 |
*perfect* job for me. |
21 |
|
22 |
Now I am trying to use it to correct a clock that speeds up |
23 |
about 1 sec. per hour, this on a Gentoo Linux / amd64 box, |
24 |
and it does not work for me. |
25 |
|
26 |
Here's a log of what I did, following the INSTALL.gz: |
27 |
|

# DIARY of of the clockspeed tunning process: |

|
30 |
# YD, 2005-11-28: |
31 |
# (#4) Tunned the clock via |
32 |
# sntpclock `sntphost.sh` | clockadd |
33 |
# (#5) Then started clockspeed and gave it a time measurement: |
34 |
# clockspeed & |
35 |
# sntpclock `sntphost.sh` > /var/lib/clockspeed/adjust & |
36 |
# |
37 |
# YD, 2005-11-30: |
38 |
# (#6) second time measurement given via |
39 |
# sntpclock `sntphost.sh` > /var/lib/clockspeed/adjust & |
40 |
# |
41 |
# YD, 2005-12-06: bad, clock drifting is now |
42 |
# before: 2005-12-06 07:51:29.438417000000000000 |
43 |
# after: 2005-12-06 07:51:15.661924499920696019 |

(sntphost.sh simply returns one IP address of a near-by sntp |
46 |
server.) |
47 |
|
48 |
I am absolutely ignorant about any details of how clockspeed |
49 |
works, so forgive me any stupidity. |
50 |
|
51 |
I am also aware that this sounds more like a question for the |
52 |
clockspeed list itself, but I've already done that and got no |
53 |
reply. |
54 |
|
55 |
What I can add to the above report: trying to access the atto file |
56 |
fails, as it simply does not exist. The /var/lib/clockspeed/ looks |
57 |
this way: |
58 |
|
59 |
dedi root # ls -la /var/lib/clockspeed/ |
60 |
total 6 |
61 |
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 38 Nov 28 09:23 . |
62 |
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Nov 30 10:28 .. |
63 |
prw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 30 12:01 adjust |
64 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 176 Feb 17 2005 leapsecs.dat |
65 |
|
66 |
Do I miss something? What might be wrong? I would appreciate |
67 |
any help -- thank you! |
