So in general, ntpd is running on the box?
Yes, its running as a service. Its acting as a time server very well for
a year.
What does ntpd talk to during the months it takes for the time to drift
away by 30-60 seconds?
No logs about this drift of time in ntpd log file. Problem appear only
when restarting service (or during system restart).
On some operating systems NTP will set the BIOS clock. I believe this
happens once an hour.
But not all OSes have this capability, and many BIOS clocks are pretty
bad. So it is not something that can be effectively used very often.
This is the problem. It's not correcting the BIOS clock. ntpd -q does
correct it.
This is the command line which starts ntpd as service:
/srv/ntpd/bin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -l /srv/ntpd/log/ntpd.log -s
/srv/ntpd/log/ntpstats/ -c /srv/ntpd/etc/ntpd.conf -u
