Should i be concerned that it seems ~ 20 seconds out every 10mins or so, i wouldn't have thought it would need updating by that much at such regular intervals. Any chance it isn't saving the time correctly or something :S

Thanks for any help,
Jack
 
it shouldn't be correcting that much... check if your mobo battery is dieing or delete the drift file and restart ntpd. It could be that the drift file contains an enormous gap - did you change the year on your computer recently? and it's adjusting to that...
