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! |
