Why not use a cron job to sync hourly? (run 'crontab -e' as myth user)
----------CUT HERE--------------
NTPSRV=pool.ntp.org
35 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate $NTPSRV
----------END CUT---------------
You'll have to disable the ntpd service, or else you won't be able to
sync, since the daemon has control of the port.
# /sbin/service ntpd stop
# /sbin/chkconfig ntpd off
My $.02. Good luck!
Cheers!
