I would simply shoot via rdate(8) without -a, maybe via cron.
Unless they are long living, then with -a.
(I drive my laptop like so, against a NTP running on an always-on
vserver that listens to a single NTP in the same rack.)
Thanks, I will definitely add this to my list of alternatives. Tested it
successfully without the -a option (-a was not effective because of the
large deviations). What I like about the approach is that it is so
simple and unambiguous. At the moment I have the feeling that in my VM
it triggers a small time jump of a few seconds after every cron trigger.
I'll have to take a closer look at the -a option (which should prevent
exactly that) and in parallel continue researching ntpd. With the
latter, my experience is that - if it works - the continuity and
uniformity of the time progression is very well ensured.
Kind regards
Matthias
