Hi,
I'm not sure whether this is a hardware or software issue. Shortly
after applying NG R55 HFA16 my firewall started behaving arraticly: a
few times a week time suddenly starts flipping on the firewall resulting
in lots of lost packages and the following messages in syslog:
Dec 31 01:00:00 fw fw: [ID 140332 kern.notice] FW-1: last packet seen
-1201222288 seconds ago, assuming clock change.
Jan 23 01:51:31 fw fw: [ID 140332 kern.notice] FW-1: last packet seen
1201222290 seconds ago, assuming clock change.
Dec 31 01:00:00 fw fw: [ID 140332 kern.notice] FW-1: last packet seen
-1201222344 seconds ago, assuming clock change.
...
The firewall is a Sun Netra T1 (Sparc) running Solaris 8. There is no
ntp daemon running that could mess-up time. I have since applied HFA17
but that doesn't change anything. Anybody seen this before?
I wonder whether the Sun gets the time from it's hardware clock or
whether it checks it once at bootup and then keeps track of it in
software (like a PC?)?
