Running ntpd should automagically adjust for drift. As I understand it, ntpdate doesn't. I use ntp on both my desktop systems, as they're always connected to the internet. But I use ntpdate on my notebook, as it usually is turned off. I have added an item to my desktop menu, to run ntpdate. John wrote:

the first ntp.drift is -293.232 and the second is -341.845
How could i correct the ntp.drift ?

adjust
the clock every few hours using it. My clock seems to like to lose time

though it is a brand new box (January, this year).
How old the computer is, has nothing to do with it. It all depends on the accuracy of the crystal used in the clock. Some are worse than
others.
