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
command:

msntp -a -x ntpserver.somewhere > output 2>1

--this does indeed seem to start a daemon. However I don't see how to
make this run at boot time. Before (with the method of Jean, above) we
added a command to /etc/init.d/rcS

However if I add:

msntp -a -x pool.ntp.org > output 2>1 &

or

/usr/sbin/msntp -a -x pool.ntp.org > output 2>1 &

to /etc/init.d/rcS  (instead of /etc/init.d/ntpclient start &, that we
had before) then it doesn't seem to work---i.e. there is no daemon
running when I ssh in to check (via ps -e | grep ntp).
