Hello, about a month ago, John Klos noted the problem of macppc's
time-of-day timer running slow. I've been seeing the same on my B&W G3,
running 3.0_STABLE. I don't run ntpd, but notice the clock being slow by a
few miutes every day (and then resetting it with rdate). I also see about
the same amount of drift.
I haven't seen a PR on this - I'd be happy to submit one if noone else
does. Anyone else has data points?
Unlike Johns machine, mine is at home and can happily run test kernels if
need be. I'm using the netbsd-3 tag on anoncvs.
Joe.
