> "[...] I'll simply state that 12 PPM correspond to one second per day roughly. I'm skeptical and am more inclined to think ntp has measurement problems or a decimal has been missed or something but it's easy to check with real world direct simple data which I always prefer, so we shall see. The reason I am skeptical is I have lots of machines that don't use ntp and I'd expect but of course could be very wrong that I would have noticed if I had to fix the clocks by 8 minutes per year. I'll mark this mail and let the list know. What I am less likely to get around to is comparing this data to what ntp would suggest the skew is for each machine, but no matter for now. -- ________________________________________________________ Why not do something good every day and install BOINC. ________________________________________________________
