You should also check on the GUI under control panel > time, there is a box
to add a NTP server.

It keep the synchronization fine for me.

My first idea would be to use an NTP server.  Keeping your box's time
within a few milliseconds of everyone else's is probably a good idea, if
you're going to be connected to the Internet.

That said, I've seen the problem before and I've always resolved it by
using an NTP server.  If it bothers you, take it back.  But don't expect
another one that works.

And if you do find another one that works, or switch to another
(non-Sun/Cobalt) platform, don't expect it to keep good time forever.
