You need to be running ntpd. It will learn your clock drift and correct for it 
permanently.

Here is my /etc/ntpd.conf file. Of course, you'll have to change the addresses 
at the bottom to your subnet/machines. If you're not in North America, it 
would be a good idea to pick closer time servers.

server ntp0.cornell.edu
server ntp.cmr.gov
server ntp1.cs.wisc.edu
server clock.psu.edu

driftfile /etc/ntp/drift

authenticate no

# by default, don't trust and don't allow modifications
restrict default notrust nomodify

# these are the timeserver addresses
restrict ntp0.cornell.edu
restrict ntp.cmr.gov
restrict ntp1.cs.wisc.edu
restrict clock.psu.edu

# this and other time server addresses are unrestricted.
restrict 192.168.100.5
restrict 192.168.100.15
restrict 127.0.0.1
