Hi,
after adjtimex --tick 10029 the calls to ntpdate pool.ntp.org seem to be
working:

5 Oct 03:42:37 ntpdate[13218]: adjust time [...] offset -0.318571 sec
5 Oct 03:42:44 ntpdate[13223]: adjust time [...] offset -0.318193 sec
5 Oct 03:43:14 ntpdate[13226]: adjust time [...] offset -0.317724 sec
5 Oct 03:43:49 ntpdate[13233]: adjust time [...] offset -0.326299 sec
5 Oct 03:45:01 ntpdate[13263]: adjust time [...] offset -0.325523 sec

Which seems to be improvement since previously the offset was increasing 0.1
0.2 0.3 etc, untill it reached 0.5 and then jumped to 0.

Now I will test with ntpd but I hope it will work this time;
Thanks
