On our workstations we use ntpd to synchronize time with our time servers. Normally, ntpd automatically adjusts for small inaccuracies of the system clock. This is mainly done through the drift parameter which is recorded in ''/var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift''.

On our workstations we use ntpd to synchronize time with our time servers. Normally, ntpd automatically adjusts for small inaccuracies of the system clock. This is mainly done through the drift parameter which is recorded in /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
Occasionally, a system clock may perform so badly that ntpd cannot find an appropriate drift paramter. In such a case we can help with altering the tick/frequency settings. Here are some hints to find appropriate values.
