sntpclock = ntpdate + 22s

Hi,

I recently started running clockspeed 0.62.

Results from ntp servers around the net were consistent for several days, and I thought I had good timekeeping.

Then I noticed that the time displayed at:

http://time.gov/timezone.cgi?Pacific/d/-8/java

was different from my computer's time by > 22 seconds.

I set the computer's time with ntpdate and now I find that the time agrees with time.gov to within a second.

Have I misconfigured clockspeed? Why are ntpdate times and sntpclock times different?

Below are a variety of outputs from sntpclock.

Thank You for any advice!!!
