Does squeakci.org have NTP installed? If so, I don't think it's working:
shows my machine (which is synched to a stratum 1 machine connected to GPS) 4m 38s ahead.

I'm not sure what that is, so probably no. If you could tell me what it is, I'll find it and install it.

Ah, right. The Network Time Protocol keeps your machine in sync with UTC, by asking other machines (connected to GPS or atomic clocks) and doing clever things.
On a Debian-like machine it should be as easy as "sudo apt-get install ntp" to install.

OK, I'm awake now. Network Time Protocol daemon. No, it doesn't have that.
I hit the link above and saw a timing statement for box3 and your FreeBSD. You find that box3 and your server are out of sync and need to be in better sync? Is that situation here? I haven't seen your FreeBSD box before. Please tell me what you're doing to better assist you.

Yes, and the right way to get them in sync is for squeakci.org to have (and keep) the right time, through ntp. That lets us not go crazy when debugging things between slave and master.
I haven't seen your FreeBSD box before. Please tell me what you're doing to better assist you.
I'm experimenting with having machines run headless slaves so that the community at large can, say, test builds on Windows machines, OS X machines, and so on.
So as a minimal test, I'm trying out my FreeBSD because (a) I have it running and (b) FreeBSD doesn't get as much love as it should.

OK, It's running on the process list and gives the time as thus. [1] Please try that. I must go and get a coffee, so if it needs tuning, etc. I'll be back in half an hour.

Great, thanks! You can check on the quality of the time by running ntpq. This will give you a prompt, and entering "pe" will show you the upstream time servers ntp's using. Note the "offset" column. That's millisecond values and should be very low. (My desktop's currently 3.770ms off Ubuntu's idea of the current time, and my FreeBSD box is a huge 0.294 ms off the right time.) Oh, some lines will start with one of -+*: * is the currently selected best candidate, + servers look like good time sources, and - servers are outliers: their time is not of sufficient quality to be selected.
