[lug] Time zone grumbling

[Jeff Schroeder]

You're absolutely right.  Running the 'ntpd' daemon will keep your clock 
synchronized with the given NTP server, but it will intentionally only 
skew your clock by tiny increments (so you don't have sudden jumps in 
time).  Using 'ntpdate' will update your clock to the correct time, no 
matter what its old setting.

HTH,
Jeff
