There should be -no- reason to force a time sync unless you have something else buggered up.
My clock drifts. I haven't anylyzed my drift file since I put that in the last time a few weeks ago, but as all my machines get thier time from this box and the only other time it syncs is at boot, which happens rarely, I opted for a more pro-acive approach.
So I'm not the only one with a drifting clock! What does ps -A | grep ntp show you? In my case it showed me that no ntp-related daemon was running. I don't know where such daemons are supposed to be started, though, so I don't have a fix other than ad-hocery such as you adopted. Paul
