I forgot to mention that when the date goes into this state it actually jumps backwards sometimes by
a couple of hours. This means that xntpd wont change the date because the difference is too big. We
also can't put an entry into cron to run ntpdate every 10 mins because once the clock gets into this
state the time never makes it to the next 10 minute interval and therefore never runs ntpdate again.
Thanks
Darren

Subject: Strange results from date command
Hi everybody,
We have an Ultra5 that is giving us some very strange results when running the date command, see
below, taking note of the second.

This problem is happening at random times throughout the day, ie the last three times this occured
was, 4:12am, 2:17am + 13:43pm. The date will keep doing this until we manually reset the date. We
have rebooted the box and applied all of the latest recommended patches but the problem still
exists.
Does anyone have any ideas on what this might be and/or where I can start looking to fix this
problem.
Thanks
