Looking at the log files, the NTP server we chose to use in our config file
apparently has changed or is otherwise not available these days:

sntpclock: warning: unable to read clock: timed out
sntpclock: warning: unable to read clock: timed out
sntpclock: fatal: time uncertainty too large
clockadd: fatal: data split across packets

However, all our servers are getting this error; why would only two of them
have lost five hours?

Thanks
