Yes, I did a work-around for this.

Cannot do this for different reasons.

Its ntpclient, but this seems to happen only for a weird DSL router
setup at a friends place. It pings and resolves the IP of the
NTP server correctly but the socket never sends to the server and the
timeout is about 4 secs. Weird error that affects my app as it hangs
until it gets a response...
