Hi all, I've had this problem since installing a new hard drive and putting unstable on it. Prior to this unstable was running on an older hard disk without problem.
Basically, I logoff from the Internet overnight and in the morning find the machine showing the early hours as the time. Today at midday I got to it and it claimed it was around 3am. This is clearly wrong. If I leave the network connection up overnight, the clock is fine the next day. In fact, if I bring down the net connection during the day, the clock eventually gets set to the early hours again. This is puzzelling. I'm thinking that somewhere there is a cron job to set the time using NTP and when no NTP servers are found the clock may be getting set to midnight, only I can't find it. I have ntpdate installed and have to use it immediately when I come online in the morning else logs will be screwed obviously. Any ideas where I can remove this entry? I have a pretty standard setup, very little non-debian software components installed. It's driving me mad :( Regards, James Green
