Wang,

It could be your clock or a defect in your ipv6 stack.

I use the following utility to measure sleep drift for tahi machines.  I have a HP box with 2 Xeons that drifts 10 seconds in 5 minutes with speedstep off.

If you are not seeing a material drift, you should probably take this up with your developers as the stack may not be handling RA addresses correctly.

===============
#!/usr/bin/perl

$tm=$ARGV[0];
print "tm=$tm\n";

$tm0=time();

sleep($tm);

$tm1=time();
$tmx=$tm1-$tm0;
print "clock delta: $tmx\n";
=================

Run this for an hour,  for example:
./drift.pl 3600

If it returns a delta materially different than 3600, you probably have a clock problem, else you may have a software defect in your stack... or both ;-)

BTW, is the NUT RHEL5.2 and TN freebsd 7.0?

HIH,
Tony

Hello, all:
very strange, I close the speedstep in Freebsd computer, but it is still
failure,
could you support me finding where problem is?
