It's set to never run. It needs to be something like: 35 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.gov What I do on my machines is create a script: #!/usr/sh # updatetime script /usr/sbin/ntpdate time.nist.govAnd drop it into my /etc/cron.hourly folder and make it executbale (chmod +x /etc/cron.hourly/updatetime). You shouldn't need to update the time more than once an hour. If it's getting more than a couple thousandths of a second off in an hour you either have a motherboard issue or one that has a REALLY cheap clock.
