Ok, what you should probably do first of all is to fix automatic adjustment. In 99% of the cases huge drifts indicate broken adjustment. How to do this: - Delete /etc/adjtime - Set the system time correctly - Set the hardware clock from the system time: "hwclock --systohc" - Remove the bogus adjustment file again: "rm /etc/adjtime" - Wait a considerable time. - Set the system clock correctly - Set the hardware clock from the system clock. After this the system should have a correct adjustment file without time drift. The last two steps are not necessary if you use the ntpd (it takes care of setting the clock), as the system clock is automatically stored in the hardware clock at shutdown, and loaded at boot.
