Hey guys, |

I'm having some trouble with ntpd and my system clock. Every once and a while, my system time is wrong. In the past (not having time to look into it), I've just run ntp-client to correct it. |

Turns out that ntpd is crashing and `date` reports the UTC time, but thinks it's Eastern. This time I didn't correct the time and tried rebooting a few times. ntpd crashes within 5 minutes of boot, leading me to suspect the the time being off is what's causing ntpd to crash. |

Info about my system: I dual boot with windows, so my /etc/conf.d/hwclock looks like this: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
> clock="local" |
| 10 |
> clock_systohc="YES" |
| 11 |
> clock_hctosys="YES" |
| 12 |
> clock_args="" |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I also have CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS and CONFIG_RTC_SYSTORC set in my kernel. |

ntpd is in my default runlevel, ntp-client is not. |

My /etc/ntp.conf looks like this: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
> server 0.gentoo.pool.ntp.org |
| 21 |
> server 1.gentoo.pool.ntp.org |
| 22 |
> server 2.gentoo.pool.ntp.org |
| 23 |
> server 3.gentoo.pool.ntp.org |
| 24 |
> driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift |
| 25 |
> restrict default nomodify nopeer noquery |
| 26 |
> restrict 127.0.0.1 |

What am I doing wrong? Where should I look for more information on the problem? |
