Hallo,

I am running dovecot on a PC (a workstation) to have a mail client
independent storage for my mails. Now I would like to have the system
clock set correctly by using ntpd or ntpdate (using debian/sid).

The problem is, that the PC is not online at boot time, but is set
online on demand manually using "pon" to start the pppd later. So ntpd
cannot sync the time on boot time before dovecot gets started.

Chrony is what you are looking for, see http://chrony.sunsite.dk/
