ntpd on Red Hat

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

The BLU server tends to drift. 
I have ntpd running with a few time servers set up in ntp.conf. It appears 
that ntpd is essentially a nop. It is running, but does not appear to 
adjust the time based on the servers. I have the same servers set up for my 
home system (SuSE running xntpd), which does appear to time synch 
successfully. 
I tried running ntpdate on several servers listed in the public ntp web 
site:
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.html

I suppose that running ntpdate once daily would be more than sufficient.
