[PLUG] FWIW: linux notebook date/time problem solved

[dh at mda.huntbros.net]

You may want to try netdate(1) along with hwclock(1) in an automated
timekeeping scheme.

To save you time if you try netdate, I've included my current top 12
favorite level-2 public ntp servers follow. These were culled from a very
large list and selected for reliability, short netlag-times, and relative
agreement of reported timesignals.
	cs.columbia.edu
	CYAN.SRV.cs.cmu.edu
	eagle.tamu.edu
	FS1.ece.cmu.edu
	LEMON.SRV.cs.cmu.edu
	salmon.maths.tcd.ie
	sue.cc.uregina.ca
	cudns.cit.cornell.edu
	FS3.ECE.CMU.EDU
	lanczos.maths.tcd.ie
	ntp.maths.tcd.ie
	otc2.psu.edu
Of course, YMMV.
