Thanks. That works. I've also been doing this
sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntulinux.org
but I like yours better.
However, my clock only runs fast when I rip CDs which makes me think
it's software related.
And the Adjust Date & Time dialog killing xscreensaver is just bizarre.
Is nobody else seeing that? I could live with it--it just seems like the
kind of thing we should fix.
