[Bug 25922] Re: ntpd doesn't protect against large clock skewing

[Matt Zimmerman]

This is by design; ntpd refuses to change the clock by a large amount as a safety feature.  You can use ntpdate or date to force it.

Did 2.6.15 correct the clock skew problem?

Sourcepackagename: ntp => linux-source-2.6.15
