Isn't this what NTP is for? MAke sure you configure the option to run ntpdate prior to starting xntpd. - Herman Álvaro A. Novo wrote:

since yest i noticed my clock going back 5 hrs every now and then, could this be related to gmt, my clock adjusted the time correctly on sunday

Have you booted into Windows? That might be part of the explanation... other than that I can only suggest a script to have your clock set "atomically":

#!/bin/bash # # Timeserver der RWTH Aachen /usr/sbin/netdate -v 137.226.144.3 137.226.112.21 | mail XXXXX -s "set time" /sbin/hwclock -wu

and run a cron job as root to have it done automatically... (note: you need to be online, of course).

NOTE: A similar script has been suggested in the mailing list; mine is based on it.

Hope it helps,
