[Summary] NTP is it really 1967???



Special thanks to Bob Metcalf, John Julian, & Darren Dunham for your
quick responses.

All pointed to the fact that the TOD clock or battery had gone. Which
was true. While there was no possibility of a motherboard replacement I
did find a spare E420 and was able to swap some discs and with a little
luck was able to get the server up and running again the next morning.

Additionally the TOD battery on the E420R motherboard is not replaceable
as it is welded directly into the motherboard. So if you find your self
in the same situation a motherboard swap is the only answer.

Thanks again and Merry Xmass.

I have a e420 that I had some other maintenance iissues with yesterday
when it hung after a reboot and some fsck and correction of
inaccurately mounted devices the server was back up and everything was
fine.

This evening, morning now, CS called to say the servers time was wrong
.... I logged in and it was unless today is Sun Dec 31 09:00:01 JST 1967
I do have a problem and also the does not change.

I tried to change the date with the date command but that does not work
either. I also went through all of the ntp commands as well...... and
checked this servers time server at it is working fine.

bash-2.03# ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay
offset disp
