well, do this:
add to ntpd a dependence of net.ethx so that it doesn't starts if it this
service didn't start. after that go to http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com and
sync your time, and put to 0.000000 the first number in the /etc/adjtime
file. after that if our pc doesn't automatically sync it would be have been
sync.
