[NTLUG:Discuss] Strange clock behaviour

[Jim Goode]

Anytime I've had a problem with a system clock... it turned out to be that
the battery on the motherboard needed to be replaced. Typically replacements
on the boards I've had required a CR2032 battery. You might want to check
that out.

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

[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?
