more on hardware clock

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Hi Ari,

No other time utilities are running. I have added a "netdate"
command to my ip-up script to get the current time from the
internet, but it only runs once and seems okay. Itt has been
there for over a year now.

I just ran "strace hwclock -w" again redirecting output to a
file, and after waiting for 15 seconds I hit control-C and the
resulting file was 25 MB long. I em inserting the last 21 lines
of that file in the hope that you or someone will be able to spot
something familiar. I am way over my head on this one.
