We routinely run the following on all machines, from the command line:

'netdate tcp 158.152.1.76'

That site is in the UK; ntp.demon.co.uk, but I'm sure there are many others
in Germany and Europe..

That corrects the present session and can be written immediately to the
hardware clock:

'hwclock -w'

If not written manually, AFAIK, it is done during shut down..

GoodDay..
