My cubieboards do not have a battery backing up the clock, so every boot comes up with the date:

Jan  1 00:

But ntpd to the rescure to set the date. However, it seems the slew has gotten too great:

Jan 1 00:01:33 medon ntpd[765]: 0.0.0.0 0617 07 panic_stop +154604256 s; set clock manually within 1000 s.

and now nptd is not running. I did set the date with 'date MMddhhmmyyyy', but still need to restart ntpd.

It would seem to me that a hack around this is to run date in the boot process. Something like:

date 010101012014

Just before starting of ntpd. But I know nothing of boot scripts, where to put this command, and if that would be the proper format within the boot process.

Can anyone lend me a hand on what/where to set this up?
