In article <707@alias.UUCP>, mark@alias.UUCP (Mark Andrews) asks about:

This means the timed demon adjusted time a total of -2.408 seconds during
the preceding 35.54 hours, or -1.206 seconds in the preceding 17.47 hours.
If you have an IRIX 3.3 kernel (not likely), you might edit
/usr/sysgen/master.d/kernel to set the "timetrim" variable based on these
hints for your combination of hardware, air conditioning, power, and so
on.  Timetrim takes a value with "units" of nanoseconds/second.
