One of my gate boxes drifts about 11.5 sec a day. I use rdist to keep all my hosts at each site in sync - vital for NFS makes ! & I use cron &/or ppp dial up, to trigger one shot calls EG "/usr/sbin/ntpdate ntp1.t-online.de" to sync the gate that acts as rdist server. I havent set up an NTP server, I'm happy being an NTP client. I still havent protected myself from the ramifications of time lurches on my local net, while NFS compiling. I seem to recall one of rdist & ntp offered sliding updates, & the other only offered lurching updates. Maybe I'm wrong, hope so, must get back to it some time.
