If no NTP server with the name or IP address you specified exists, a message 

similar to the following appears:

19 Jan 00:43:40 ntpdate[1431]: no server suitable for 

synchronization found

message similar to the following appears:

19 Jan 00:43:58 ntpdate[1265]: Can't adjust the time of day:

command and configure NTP correctly:
