ntpd on Red Hat

[warlord at MIT.EDU (Derek Atkins)]

Yea..  ntpd will refuse to adjust your clock if it's too far gone when
it starts.  The fix is to run ntpdate before running ntpd.  Red Hat
does this automatically if you populate /etc/sysconfig/<something>
with the list of hosts to try at startup.  See /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntp
for more information.
