Please have a look at this bug report... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=164711 ...then look at your system and see if it has the same problem. Essentially, unless ntpdate succeeds, the system time gets set wrong. Even then, if ntpdate runs fine, some applications (Postfix maybe) still remain on a different time setting. E.g. look at the system logs immediately after a reboot - you will see a big jump in the timestamps after ntp kicks in. If your system has the same problem, please add your observations to the bug report. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
