Hi all, I'm having problems with sntpclock. It seems that it's showing drastically different times than the ntp tool ntpdate. Here is a snippit from my tests: ========================== $ ntpdate -q 131.107.1.10 server 131.107.1.10, stratum 1, offset -0.259161, delay 0.04840 30 Jan 13:37:48 ntpdate[25681]: adjust time server 131.107.1.10 offset -0.259161 sec # 1-2 seconds later: $ sntpclock 131.107.1.10 | clockview before: 2003-01-30 13:37:50.001695000000000000 after: 2003-01-30 13:38:11.742115499824039637 ========================== As you can see there is a 21 second difference from the same master ntp server. How's this possible? I call "popcorn" on my telephone and the time corresponds with the ntpdate results! I'm running this on Linux 2.4 kernel. Is this package not kept up-to-date for this "new" of a kernel? Are the calls it's using invalid for anything > 2.2 kernel? Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ethan
