Thanks, exactly my plan for now.

The only thing is (I've wrote it already) this wasn't happening a month or so ago (don't remember exactly when it started).

Yes, I used to have it like that but, I need to set it up too often (once or twice a month) as the CMOS battery has seen much better days. That's why I started using ntpdate, to avoid the need to dig into the BIOS and adjunkt the clock every other week.
