Hey, thats an idea, sound simpler,
Why don't you post the changes to etc/rc.d/init.d/crond to the list
-----------------------------
edit /etc/c.d/init.d/crond.
Before my change crond looked like:

case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting cron daemon: "


after my change crond looks like:

case "$1" in
  start)
        /usr/sbin/ntpdate <myclock> >>/var/cobalt/sauce.log 2>&1
        /sbin/clock -w -u >>/var/cobalt/sauce.log 2>&1
        echo -n "Starting cron daemon: "

Change <myclock> to reference the appropriate ntp server.
