Hi all,

Would flaky electricity cause the system clock to go 'haywire' and ntpd 
to generate logs such as:

Jul  7 22:46:33 bradsuper1 ntpd[25341]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] 
frequency error 512 PPM exceeds tolerance 500 PPM
Jul  7 23:02:31 bradsuper1 ntpd[25341]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] 
frequency error 512 PPM exceeds tolerance 500 PPM

and lead to the system clock an hour behind after about 24 hours?



Christopher
