[NTLUG:Discuss] Strange clock behaviour

[Rev. wRy]

All -

I'm having a problem that I've never encountered before - the clock on
my system will stop or run backwards.

example:

[root at fatboy ~]# date
Fri Sep 22 13:12:51 CDT 2006
[root at fatboy ~]# date
Fri Sep 22 13:12:53 CDT 2006
[root at fatboy ~]# date
Fri Sep 22 13:12:50 CDT 2006
[root at fatboy ~]# cd
[root at fatboy ~]# date
Fri Sep 22 13:12:49 CDT 2006
[root at fatboy ~]# date
Fri Sep 22 13:12:50 CDT 2006
[root at fatboy ~]# date
Fri Sep 22 13:12:52 CDT 2006
[root at fatboy ~]# date
Fri Sep 22 13:12:53 CDT 2006

CentOS 4.4 2.6.9-42.0.2 ntpd is not running.

Any ideas?
