</div></div>NTP does not cause problems with scheduling. NTP gradually slews the<br>
system clock - it does not introduce discontinuities (either forward or<br>
backward), it changes the rate at which time passes until the system<br>
clock agrees with the external clock.<br>
<br>
If you have systems configured to have their system clocks jump<br>
(`ntpdate` is sometimes used for this), fix them to not be configured<br>
this way.<br>
<br>
#2424 is primarily about user-initiated events, primarily on desktop<br>
machines - a user changing the system time, a user suspending the<br>
machine (and later unsuspending it). There's little or no reason for<br>
problems related to #2424 to ever come up on a properly maintained<br>
server.<br>

Gelin, you did not describe what problem you're actually having. If you would, that would benefit the continuation of the discussion.</div>
