or easier still just date -s "`date`" without ntpd restart
I have 2.6.27 kernels here (SuSE 11.1) which seem unaffected so breakage might be a little later
OK this is how it works on squeeze etc.: apt-get install ntpdate; /etc/init.d/ntp stop; ntpdate pool.ntp.org; /etc/init.d/ntp start
POSTMORTEM fix for CPU eating softirqd threads without rebooting: stop ntpd, run ntpdate or sntp, start ntpd /etc/init.d/ntp stop; sntp -s <ntpserver>; /etc/init.d/ntp start Unfortunately sntp / ntpdate wrapper…
