Re: time sync probs
What you're looking for if you want a quick "set the time right now"
application is ntpdate, not ntp. NTP slews the clock and also sets up
settings to know how good/bad your internal clock are. Messing with the
software clock while using NTP is just going to make NTP take even
longer to figure out how good/bad your internal clock is.
