[SLUG] Setting the time

[Howard Lowndes <lannet@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a number of servers, all of which match their system clocks to a 
couple of central time sources that I run.

All, except 1, are within a couple of seconds of the time source.  The 
oddball is 13 seconds fast.

Even though its running ntpd and is seeing the time sources it still 
won't sync.  If I stop ntpd and run ntpdate manually then it 
acknowledges that it is 13+ secs fast but still refuses to set the 
system clock. (the doco says that ntpdate won't update if ntpd is running)

I should point out, though I don't see it as relevant, that this is a 
Xen guest server and one of the reference clocks is the Xen host but the 
other is independent.

Thoughts?
