My system was off about 10 days and when I turned it back on, I began getting these messages in my logwatch:
"Time Reset time stepped -0.133773 time stepped -0.662954 time stepped +0.271164 time stepped +0.461200 time stepped -0.787647 <snip> Time Reset 25 times (total: -1.239782 s average: -0.049591 s) **Unmatched Entries** synchronized to 80.35.31.228, stratum 3 synchronized to 80.35.31.228, stratum 4 <snip> synchronized to 80.35.31.228, stratum 4 synchronized to 80.35.31.228, stratum 3 Listening on interface wildcard, 0.0.0.0#123 Listening on interface eth0, 192.168.1.100#123 Listening on interface lo, 127.0.0.1#123 kernel time sync status 0040" I rebooted thinking it needed to stabilize but it still gets them. I have ntp-client and ntpd both in the "default" runlevel. This seems like an awful high number of resets. Much more than I used to get.
