Are you executing it as root?

Will this help you?

thank you for your information.

according to CronJobs on Directadmin are run by user not run by root
is it possible to set in Directadmin to update time with root user ?

By default not, you should either run it as root, or use a wrapper. And of course you'd better use ntpdate or ntpd.

ntpd are allow to run by user ?
if yes it will work in cronjob right?

ntpd is a daemon, which runs in background and is supposed to start with system boot.

Read man crontab to learn how to set up a root cronjob from the command line.
