[CentOS] Time delaying (or time lagging)

[happymaster23]

Thank you very much,

all is working perfectly. I am using ntp.nic.cz (CZ NIC is cz TLD registry),
tak.cesnet.cz (CESNET is czech academic network) and 1.cz.pool.ntp.org. I
think, that this servers are good? Am I right? Or is better to use more NTP
servers?

Thanks
