Thank you for your e-mail. We've reset the clock, are now running NTP, and will continue to monitor the situation over the coming weeks. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. -----Original Message----- From: Unidata Support [mailto:address@hidden] Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 4:23 PM To: address@hidden Cc: address@hidden Subject: 20041209: clock on martindale.yalestation.net >From: Unidata User Support <address@hidden> >Organization: Unidata Program Center/UCAR >Keywords: Alexander, The LDM statistics your machine martindale.yalestation.net is sending to Unidata are timestamped approximately 14 hours in the future. http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?IDS|DDPLUS+martin dale.yalestation.net Can you set the clock on that machine? Also, you have a substantial clock drift problem which you can see from the above plot, which probably indicates that you either aren't running NTP, or the clock is so far off that NTP won't adjust the clock drift. The LDM software you are running relies on the clock, so maintaining the clock with NTP is a good idea.
