dear gentoo users,

many people, including myself, discovered a big clockdrift problem. i followed all the threads about ntpd and stuff how to solve it but nothing really worked. i was playing around with ntpd for a while and i finally found a solution which is working (at least for me)

first i need to say: it will only work if you have a permanent internet connection.

just install your ntpd as shown in this thread but include in your /etc/ntpd.conf the minpoll switch like here:

Code:

server ntp1.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de minpoll 4

the minpoll 4 will force ntpd to update way more frequent as it actually does. also a very important switch is -g in

Code:

/etc/conf.d/ntpd

as it turns off the sanity check of ntpd which forces ntpd to exit when it experiences an insane clock drift.

hope this works for you, too.

cheers,
markus
