I have installed xntp 1.3 in our network of Sun-3s and Sun-4s running SunOS 4.1 and 4.1.1. On some of the machines xntpd prints xntpd: Previous time adjustment didn't complete about once or twice each day, i.e. the old time delta returned by adjtime() is non-zero. Is this normal, or should I worry about it? Has anybody else experienced this? Thanks, -- Oliver Laumann net@tub.cs.tu-berlin.de net@tub.UUCP net@tub.BITNET

That doesn't solve the problem completely. I made the equivalent modification to the kernel, and I still get that message when the system gets REALLY busy. This is a problem in SunOS.
