What's wrong with setting it up under YaST? (Network Services -> NTP Client)
Admittedly I haven't got that currently configured on my main machine, which 
does tend to drift. Never had it drift 17 years though ;-)

I have a htpc which has dvb cards, so I tend to just use the dvbdat command to 
sync that one.

I've just used the YaST one and it works fine. The only wrinkle is that you 
should have a permanent connection apparently, which probably isn't always 
the case with a laptop. There are commandline tools that come with the xntp 
package that allow you to run a command to sync. It would be fairly simple to 
put together a little script to check for reachable ntp server, then run that 
sync command.

Ahhhhh... Thank goodness. I was about to start testing all the light switches 
50 times.
