The time update is still not working ... and it is quickly back to being
6-7 minutes wrong. Probably something inside the Touch is updating time
in a very bad way.

I modified the time-spec so it executes every hour. With something
inside the Touch providing bad clock, I need more frequent update.

I tried to "chmod 700 root" ... so that the crontab is an executable -
it doesn't make a difference (this is not a shell script, but rather a
file that cron reads and executes). Unfortunately, as pgeorges has
concluded, the instructions are not executed. Time is not fixed. I can
run msntp manually ... but how many times a day do I want to do that?

As pgeorges has noticed, there is no output file in /tmp either.

I executed:
# ps axfww | grep cron
1344 pts/0    S+     0:00          \_ grep cron

... It seems cron is running. I just don't know how to make it set my
time.

I'm not sure but I found this hint in a post on
debian-administration.org: A common cause with broken personal cron
entries is that the crontab file doesn't contain a newline at the end of
lines.

... I've added a new-line to the root crontab. I'll wait 40 minutes and
see what happens.
