You might want to run ntpdate when you connect though, so that you can set the
time as soon as you connect, and then keep it right with ntpd. At least on my
laptop, if ntpd is running, and I try to run ntpdate I get:

shuriken:/home/kuzman# ntpdate 128.118.46.3
13 Jan 10:43:17 ntpdate[2504]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting

Of course it might be better to keep it running all the time, and upon
connection to kill it, call ntpdate, and start it again.
