I wrote a cron job that dumps all employees from our LDAP directory and compares it with yesterday’s dump, highlights new hires and fires.
Installed Ubuntu 12.04 on the server with NTP problems, and (so far) the time drift problem is not there.

Set up Ubuntu 14.04 on a server at $WORK. Started NTP, wondering why my time is now diverging. Trying u12.04 on another server to compare.
