Has anyone else had problems with the System Clock on a DECstation 3100 losing time? Ours has lost about 20 minutes over about the last two weeks. This seems to have happened pretty smoothly over that period, during which time the system has been very lightly loaded. None of our other machines (VAXen, SUNs, Silicon Graphics, ...) seem to be similarly afflicted. Has anyone else noticed any similar problems?

My DECstation 3100 also loses time about the same amount that is given above. /jonas

We had much the same problem. I don't know why the clock seems to lose so badly... but we finally installed NTP, and now they all chime closely together. -Steve Spoken: Steve Miller Domain: steve@mimsy.umd.edu UUCP: uunet!mimsy!steve Phone: +1-301-454-1808 USPS: UMIACS, Univ. of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742

The DECstation I work with also has a clock that slows down about 2 minutes
per day. I don't have a solution other then periodically resetting the
clock and restarting everything. A fix would be great. is there one out there?
