17 Did you also try to remove /etc/adjtime. This file gets written by the hwclock
18 utility and is supposed to help in autoadjusting your hardware clock to the
19 real time (clocks are never entirely correct). Also (as I posted earlier)
20 using rdate (or ntpdate for that matter) not at boot breaks things. Specially
21 with cron as it's whole time system gets confused.
