No real ideas, but this sort of thing seems to hapen to one of my (Alpha)
boxes  running 4.6-STABLE as well, so you are ot alone ... my box definately
has wilder time slews than your example though:

Aug 28 01:17:59 erwin ntpd[85]: time reset -10.533113 s
Aug 28 01:22:28 erwin ntpd[85]: time reset -0.151435 s
Aug 28 01:49:29 erwin ntpd[85]: time reset -0.482979 s
Aug 28 02:14:28 erwin ntpd[85]: time reset 0.665826 s
Aug 28 04:16:56 erwin ntpd[85]: time reset -0.422747 s
Aug 28 04:36:22 erwin ntpd[85]: time reset 0.260661 s
Aug 28 04:48:26 erwin ntpd[85]: time reset 0.162487 s
Aug 28 22:58:42 erwin ntpd[85]: time reset -5.481285 s

To tell the truth, as long as most of the action is within 10 seconds - I'm
not concerned.

cheers,
Rob
