Hmm... looks like chronyd was installed by default under SL7 (learn
something new every day) rather than ntpd; systems seemed to still be synced
and accurate to the second. I swapped that out for ntpd. We'll see if that
makes any difference, though I doubt it. The times seemed accurate to the
second when I last looked at them. Looking at the web page for chrony, it
sounds like it is at least a functional equivalent of ntp under Linux, if not
superior in some respects.

No transparent proxies either, as per the network admins. Some web
filtering done via Checkpoint firewalls, but that's it.
All of my SL7 boxes are using ntpd and not chronyd too.
Perhaps I should say that my post in this thread wasn't intended to
suggest that a choice between chronyd or ntpd would give significantly
different results; just that a disabled ntpd didn't necessarily mean a
lack of synchronisation.
