FC 1: NTPD not keeping time correctly

[Gregory Gulik]

Not necessarily.  I have seen some systems that have a poor clock that 
just can't keep the clock in sync with NTP.  I have one laptop and a 
server in particular (both are Dells, hmmm) that within a week get 
several minutes out of sync.  I have other systems configured 
identically that keep perfect time.  On those two systems I have cron 
periodically stop NTP, run ntpdate against an NTP server, then restart NTP.

I use to run something called Chrony intead of NTP on the laptop and it 
was able to keep the clock in sync.
