Instead of installing ntpupdate, you can just tell ntpd that it's okay to shift the clock a lot using the '-g' parameter. See: http://superuser.com/questions/518694/ubuntu-12-10-clock-is-wrong I also find it useful to configure the NTP daemons on my monitors as NTP peers so they exchange time directly with each other as well as reference servers.
