Dale, After reading Larry's response I agree: it's the on-and-off nature of laptop use that prevents ntpd from running long enough to get sync'ed and stay there. > First off, make sure you have ntpd running on your laptops.

Yeah, ntpd starts when the system boots; it's in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. > Anyway, I hope this helps. Probably does. Slackware-14.1 still has /usr/sbin/ntpdate; if it's been deprecated perhaps I should just use 'ntpd -g -p' as an hourly cron job on those portables? After all, ntpd runs on boot but after an unmeasured time the clock creeps ahead.
