Never had problems there.

In what way does it not work? Any error messages? Wrong time?

What does it say if you run ntpdate manually (with more vebose/debug
options)?


All my configs are default.

"dpkg-reconfigure ntpdate" to configure the timeserver for ntpdate
purge and install ntp and let it update its config automatically on
update (alternatively just dpkg-reconfigure it). It will then add a
server line for the timeserver from the ntpdate by itself.

from /var/log/syslog:
