dec 31 1969 in event log

[Seth Simmons]

I have a cron job that runs at 6am for a backup of all nagios files.
Ntp is configured to sync with our windows domain controllers (at the
same location).

Just looked at the event log, it was there this morning...very strange

Hi,

While it's in a timely manner that occurrs every midnight, please let  
us know your cron config and perhaps your timeserver configuration.
