My system clock seems to be speeding ahead by about 5 minutes a day.
Is due to my hardware clock haveing problems or is this a software problem?

Any suggestions on how to slow down the clock ? I could call date
from a crontab to back it up ... but that seems too ugly.
I'd like to use timed but I dont know of any public availible timed servers
who I can get the time from ... Any suggestions ?
