If I may pipe up... Can you not set the clock manually, then let ntpd take it from there? Seems like your clock would become synced a lot faster if it started out close. Sorry if I'm being naive, but this seemed like the obvious thing to do. Don't apologize! Any input is valuable! But I

ntpd wont resync if the time difference is to big, as it assumes something is wrong as you would have set the system clock roughly correct. To fix stop ntpd, then do an ntpdate against the server. This should set the time. Now run ntpd again also set the following variables to a server of
