ntpd works perfectly, ajust all the clocks. The documentation is in file:/usr/share/doc/ntp-4.1.1/index.htm Use ntpd! Some people think that it is intended only to make a server. That's wrong! ntpd keeps the time from an atomic clock or from GPS or from another time server of higher level. ntpd calculates the drift of the clocks (software and hardware) and setup the drift compensations. ntp queries the higher level clock only when its is necessary, never at a fixed hour to avoid the crazy solution of ntpdate in /etc/cron.daily which makes the servers overloaded everyday! When ntpd is setup, the clock looks accurate and the computer can be used as a time server. But the first job of ntpd is to keep an accurate time.
