esm module and ntp problem

[Rechenberg, Andrew]

Actually I see large variances in the standard system clock when running
the esm module.  This server is not doing anything at all.  It is just a
test server for disaster recovery.  Over this past weekend the server in
question gained 51 seconds, and gained over 4.5 seconds just since this
morning.  Something definitely seems amiss with the esm module.

That's way too big for drift. Something is punching an incorrect value 
into the time - one would assume the backup software. What backup 
software are you using?
