Hi,
    What could be the possible cause of the problem when the system
time loop between 1 to 2 second as shown below in the while do loop of
every 1sec

while 
do
date
sleep 1
done

 However when the xntpd is restarted, the time sync correctly. This
symptom has relapsed recently for a few times already. Currently, I
just workaround by putting a cron to restart the xntpd every 30min
which sound silly. The NTP server has been running for half a year.

   Could this be the system clock problem , system OS problem, others
?
   

Many Thanks

P/S: I have the more detail description on this same problem which I
have posted in this newsgroup yesterday 12 Aug.
