My MacMini MorphOS machine loses time.  Several minutes per hour.  Anyone else have this problem?
 

Not here, Powerbook, Mac Mini both keep adequate time - no noticable loss per day. Can't say I've compared them against an atomic clock though.

Kolla - ntpd seems a bit overkill for me, a light command line tool with predictable runtime which I can call on demand is fine for such a trivial task, rather than than running a daemon doing comparative analyses of delay times, polling servers every 64 seconds, etc.
I can live with the trade off of possible inaccuracy of a few seconds.
Totally agree about the hardware clock offset though, seems such an obvious annoyance to fix.
