I don't use timekeeper/2, I use time868.  I noticed not too long 
ago that it stopped working.  The reason is I had it set to  NIST, 
Boulder and this spring they stopped serving RFC868 time to port 37 
and now only serve up NTP time protocol.  I had to find another 
server to work w/ time868.

So if timekeeper/2 is using RFC868 protocol to process time 
requests and you are using the National Bureau of Standards in 
Boulder then this may be your problem.  I'm now using 
utcnist.colorado.edu which is at 128.138.140.44 and everything is 
happily living within 1 second of each other.
