I notice this also but it does not seem to happen with all isps. Not
sure why. This is my solution for a cron scrip
#!
CLKNTP="openntpd"
if [ -n "`pidof openntpd`" ]; then
/usr/bin/killall $CLKNTP 2>/dev/null
fi
/usr/sbin/openntpd -s
exit 0
I add the script to the list in local.lrp so it gets backed up. Add it
to /etc/crontab at some period and that fixed my problem
