As I watch the log: Nov 19 11:13:16 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 20.134167s Nov 19 11:17:02 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 20.022000s Nov 19 11:21:19 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 19.966267s Nov 19 11:25:39 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 19.755864s Nov 19 11:29:37 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 19.684920s Nov 19 11:31:53 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 19.607044s Nov 19 11:35:27 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 19.445023s Nov 19 11:39:48 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 19.375932s Nov 19 11:43:11 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 19.252533s Nov 19 11:46:20 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 19.173165s Nov 19 11:48:49 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 19.055170s Nov 19 11:53:05 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 18.969904s Nov 19 11:54:52 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 18.872643s Nov 19 11:57:57 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 18.741551s Nov 19 12:02:11 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 18.602046s Nov 19 12:06:31 thuis ntpd[6481]: adjusting local clock by 18.475625s It seems that it is adjusting the clock every 3-4 minutes by roughly the same amount.
