OK. The implication is that ntp should be the longterm maintainer of time. Is
this appropriate for a system with patchy network connectivity that isn't
turned on a lot of the time (specifically, my laptop)? I thought the answer to
this was "no", so I just had ntpdate run in a cronjob from time to time. What's
the correct solution?
