I can't see how.  I think we have two different things going on in your
case.  The 500ppm messages seem to be something with the solaris kernel time
keeping mechanism.  In my case it seems to be harmless.  It's hard to
believe that in your case, it screws up the time by an hour (although I
could be wrong...)
