Hi,
I'm investigating a problem I'm having with the clock getting very slow,
and I have traced the problem to something new in opensuse 10.3.
I wonder if any body has the same problem - the check is simple, run this
grep command:
grep "time reset " /var/log/ntp | less
I find:
(opensuse 10.2)

You see that the time resets are small when I had suse 10.2, but with 10.3
they jumped in size up to almost 400 seconds. If the error is larger than
1000 seconds, ntp quits:

The delay was half an hour! I restarted the daemon when I noticed.

Ouch!
I believe there must be a kernel problem or ntp problem in 10.3.
Ah! Yes, I opened a bugzilla, too:
