Don't use "netdate"! ;-)

use "ntpdate"
"netdate" will set ANY time it receives.
"ntpdate" validates the time and moves the clock slowly
to the right clock. (if wanted and run as demon)

Without an internet connection: there is a driver in the
xntp-package for the conrad cheap DCF-clock.

But the best would be what Klaus said:
Lock system time setting to one channel.
I would fix it to channel 2.
