[NTLUG:Discuss] Clock issue

[Chris Cox]

I noticed under certain loads, the clock doesn't keep up.
Before everyone cries.... Solaris will do the same thing.
What I did was use NTP (xntp...whatever) to sync to a
reliable time source.  Alternatively, you can grab and
sync from the hw clock... but that's probably not as nice
in a production environment.... but good enough for
home use.
