Workaround: Use

/usr/sbin/ntpdate -s time.nist.gov (or pick your favorite server)

periodically from /etc/crontab. (Once a day, at an odd hour and
minute of the morning, is sufficient for most machines.) This
is what we have always done. It reduces overhead because there
isn't a daemon constantly running.
