[mythtv-users] OT: NTP does not seem to be updating...

[Michael J. Lynch]

I don't think this is a specific kernel problem because I have the same 
thing
happening with an FC1 (2.4 kernel) machine.  Identical problem, ntpd is
running, but clock does not get adjusted until I either reboot or 
restart ntpd.
