Ah I see msntp is installed, but it doesn't quite provide the same
functionality, since I don't want to ssh into my squeezebox and type a
command everytime the time drifts.
This page: http://www.linuxcertif.com/man/1/msntp/
suggests one can start a daemon to do this automatically via the

possible way.
For the latest setups NTP is already installed in the Touch.
I have:

Go into settings - advanced on the Touch itself and re-enable
Before I decided to use your method I made a service request to Logitech
support:
The answer I got was that the time is corrected every time the Touch is
connected to mysqueezebox.com
As soon as you start to listen to your own music on a SD card (or USB
stick) the Touch is disconnected from

Since I upgraded to 7.7.1, a few weeks ago, my Touch was pretty much on
time without the need for NTP. Then, last week, all of sudden, it lost
3 minutes. Time to reinstall NTP ;-)
I decided to update the tarballs with the latest fixes to the init
file, all the rest remained unchanged.

At 30 seconds my touch would not boot at all and required a hard reset

Let me just add a small amount of further understanding of this issue:
I can confirm that ntpclient is being started in the rcS script on
boot. (I put the command
/etc/init.d/ntpclient start t.txt
in the rcS script and then looked at /t.txt )
But the ntpclient process is no longer there
OK so I am just very puzzled by this then. It is as if the rcS script is
not being run(!). I have tried putting the command /etc/init.d/ntpclient
start
elsewhere in the rcS script and also tried putting it in a separate
script (rcS.local) that is called by the rcS script, but nothing I do

get ntpclient (so lost 3 minutes this week).

And note that http://www.pool.ntp.org has nothing to do with the
generosity of the Debian people. ntp.org is not a Debian enterprise.
It's a public resource that is put out there to be used.

OK I seem to have got something working---thanks Jean!
I'll write what I did in case either 1) its wrong and I've potentially
destroyed my Touch, or 2) its helpful (and easier than it appeared)
1) since Jean includes the file ntp.touch.tar.gz I don't see why I
can't just extract the desired

Keeping a network device on time has been solved eons ago by the NTP

No need to be embarassed. You can't expand them because the OP
accidentally truncated them, most likely by pasting the shortened URL
from a forum post instead of grabbing the full shortcut/URL to paste
(an easy mistake to spot because I've done it myself). jean2, or

Otherwise, get NTP server on the Internet.
