Mike,

Don't know about overkill. <g>

But, on several machines, I have a 2 line script in /etc/cron.daily like this:

ntpdate ntp0.cornell.edu
setclock

On boxes that run 24/7, this generally adjusts time by 5-15 seconds each day. For my uses, that's not an issue. YMMV.

You'd probably be well advised to replace ntp0.cornell.edu with a time server close to you.

Best,

Cliff
