Hello,
I'm running Debian Sid on a system that seems to be having clock
problems: the system clock is running too fast by about 5 seconds per
hour. The system is always powered on, so from my limited understanding
the hardware clock doesn't play a role in this.
I have installed ntp-simple without result, the clock remains too fast
even though ntpd seems to be syncing correctly. "ntpdate eskarina"
(eskarina = my ntpd-running, properly-synced server) does seem to sync
the clock correctly, but the time jumps resulting from running that
regularly, even automated, don't seem like a very attractive idea to me.
