Hi, I've noticed the "adjtime failed: Invalid argument" messages on my systems, in a few odd cases where the clock needs a fairly large adjustment.
If you read "man 3 adjtime", it tells you that the maximum adjustment is "respectively 2145 and -2145 seconds on i386". I know of two solutions to this problem: (1) set the clock directly to the correct time (as in "ntpdate") but, as the adjtime man page suggests, be aware of the implications of an abrupt clock change. (2) call adjtime() with the maximum possible adjustment, and repeat until the clock is correct; I've never tried this. -- graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
