Public bug reported:
Hello! I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy and I noticed some very strange behavior
of the date and time settings.
I've been using manually-set date for a long time, but it had a lot of
skew (not sure why) so I switched to using the time servers. I just
enabled the network time in the clock applet, and added a few closer
servers (Europe) from the list it offered next to the usual Ubuntu time
server.
Then I noticed that the time was very off, by several hours.
If I turn off the ntp service (/etc/init.d/ntp stop), then run ntpdate-
debian, the time and date are set correctly. I did that yesterday,
turned ntp back on, and today I noticed a 16 hour difference again:

Thu Sep 20 05:08:19 CEST 2007 [wrong]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/ntp stop
[sudo] password for bogdanb:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ntpdate-debian
19 Sep 21:08:56 ntpdate[7476]: step time server 193.62.22.98 offset

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/ntp start
sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Sep 20 05:08:46 2007
[sudo] password for bogdanb:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date
Wed Sep 19 21:16:39 CEST 2007
Any idea what could be wrong? I didn't mess with any of the config
files, and as far as I can tell the timezone is set-up correctly. Still,
the delay does seem to be an even number of hours... (I don't know what
it was yesterday, I forgot to check, but I'll look if it happens again.)
