1 Hello,
2
3 I'm looking for anyone using clockspeed successfully on
4 amd64.
5
6 I have a success story 2 years ago using it on a Redhat 6
7 system to correct a terribly drifting clock. It did a
8 *perfect* job for me.
9
10 Now I am trying to use it to correct a clock that speeds up
11 about 1 sec. per hour, this on a Gentoo Linux / amd64 box,
12 and it does not work for me.
13
14 Here's a log of what I did, following the INSTALL.gz:
15
16 # DIARY of of the clockspeed tunning process:
17
18 # YD, 2005-11-28:
19 # (#4) Tunned the clock via
20 # sntpclock `sntphost.sh` | clockadd
21 # (#5) Then started clockspeed and gave it a time measurement:
22 # clockspeed &
23 # sntpclock `sntphost.sh` > /var/lib/clockspeed/adjust &
24 #
25 # YD, 2005-11-30:
26 # (#6) second time measurement given via
27 # sntpclock `sntphost.sh` > /var/lib/clockspeed/adjust &
28 #
29 # YD, 2005-12-06: bad, clock drifting is now
30 # before: 2005-12-06 07:51:29.438417000000000000
31 # after: 2005-12-06 07:51:15.661924499920696019
32
33 (sntphost.sh simply returns one IP address of a near-by sntp
34 server.)
35
36 I am absolutely ignorant about any details of how clockspeed
37 works, so forgive me any stupidity.
38
39 I am also aware that this sounds more like a question for the
40 clockspeed list itself, but I've already done that and got no
41 reply.
42
43 What I can add to the above report: trying to access the atto file
44 fails, as it simply does not exist. The /var/lib/clockspeed/ looks
45 this way:
46
47 dedi root # ls -la /var/lib/clockspeed/
48 total 6
49 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 38 Nov 28 09:23 .
50 drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Nov 30 10:28 ..
51 prw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 30 12:01 adjust
52 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 176 Feb 17 2005 leapsecs.dat
53
54 Do I miss something? What might be wrong? I would appreciate
55 any help -- thank you!
