My ci (NetBSD 1.3) loose aprox. 17 sec/day , but the following line in 
root's
crontab takes care of it:
15 6 * * *  /usr/sbin/ntpdate time.euro.apple.com | mail -s 'tiden 
uppdaterad' root

So i get this msg via mail:
19 Aug 06:15:20 ntpdate[23390]: step time server 17.254.0.27 offset 
16.892912 sec

It's about the same offset every day.

I tested time.euro.apple.com because it's the timeserver MacOS uses to
sync the time. I didn't know if it was the correct type of server for 
UNIX (NTP),
but i guess some guesses are lucky. :-)

Keep it up,
Lars.

ps.
My NetBSD MacIIci, running web,mail and FTP server has been up for 177 
days
with virtually no hassle.... just love it.
