Well, that *would* be the ideal way to go. However, usually problems |
| 11 |
like this are related to CMOS batteries, and their eventual death. |

I'm not quite as familiar with SPARC hardware as with x86 hardware, |
| 13 |
but I suspect the problem to be similar. I got these systems rather |
| 14 |
cheaply from eBay, and as they are 10+ years old, I don't know how |
| 15 |
much replacement hardware will be floating around. ;-) |

Be that as it may, I've managed to get the net-misc/ntp package |
| 18 |
installed and configured. It isn't so much the extra overhead of |
| 19 |
running the ntpd that I was concerned about. I just didn't want to |
| 20 |
install apache2, php, and the slew of other "heavyweight" applications |
| 21 |
that it was wanting to install. |
