Hi,
I started getting these errors:
Nov 13 19:46:09 NAS daemon.notice ntpd[1846]: frequency error 501 PPM exceeds tolerance 500 PPM Nov 13 19:48:05 NAS daemon.notice ntpd[1846]: frequency error 509 PPM exceeds tolerance 500 PPM
Anyone know what they mean or how to correct them? The NTP website says its could mean a problem in the hardware or kernel.
Also, how do I adjust the frequency of time syncs? It just seems to do it WAY too often. Maintaining the correct time is not critical to my use and 1-2 times a day is sufficient. Right now its every couple minutes.
Thanks

You need to use adjtimex at startup to adjust the kernel clock speed. If you are running ffp, check to see if your /ffp/etc/fun_plug.local is enabled and has the adjtimex setting specified. I had to adjust mine to "adjtimex -t 9968", which brought the drift back to a low number (I assume 0 drift is optimal); In my case about 40.

Ah... I thought ntpd was all I needed and disabled adjtimex.sh.
Thanks!

ntpd -x
will do the trick too and is less crude.
see
man ntpd
for details.
