    Hi,

    I have used NTP in previous SUSE 9.X, but on 9.3 I used YAST to set up NTP.
    YASTs dialog says that it will sync to a time server at bootup. In the past I
    am sure that the local PC was re-sync'd quite often. I rarely ever saw a
    difference of more than a second between my "Atomic" wall clock or watch.

    But now I see the PCs time getting more and more 'off' the longer it has been
    booted. This is irritating and non-intuitive. The systems should stay in sync
    with the 'official' time servers. One should NOT have to re-boot just to get
    the clock back in sync.

    Is the a way to tell the system to regularly 'sync up'? Has anyone out there
    found a way to keep a 9.3 system time accurate?
