You will put too much load on the ntp servers, BE NICE! If you RIGHT CLICK on your desktop clock and select "set date / time" there's an option to automatically set the time, and select the ntp.ubuntu.com servers so you don't load the pub servers, be nice and these services will continue. WHY? Because using ntp - NOT ntpdate every hour, will figure out what the drift of your clock is and set it on a regular basis and prevent too much load on the ntp server. Just set it by the feature provided. DO NOT DO THIS! You will put too much load on the ntp servers, BE NICE!
