I must say that's quite impossible to have a system clock that is not inaccurate, at least mine are all not. What could be done to fix this? I would prefer to stay in security level 2, but don't want my time to be off by 1 minute every month. Would it make sence to run a cron job (a'la ntpdate ntp.netcom.ca) every minute? Does that sound unreasonable? Is there any security risk running a cron job like that (since it would have to be root's cron job)? Thanks for any help.
