Hi,

One of my machines, the fileserver-with-zfs-to-be[1] has trouble
keeping correct time. Or rather, ntpd is struggling.
In /var/lkog/messages I see this:
Feb  7 12:05:54 kg-f2 ntpd[909]: ntpd 4.2.4p5-a (1)
Feb  7 12:11:16 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +1.020413 s
Feb  7 12:11:16 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: kernel time sync status change 2001
Feb  7 12:26:26 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.277793 s
Feb  7 12:41:29 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.260229 s
Feb  7 12:57:02 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.332972 s
Feb  7 13:21:24 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +3.659869 s
Feb  7 13:37:01 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.343230 s
Feb  7 13:52:24 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.310659 s
Feb  7 14:07:29 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.265705 s
Feb  7 14:23:03 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.335868 s
Feb  7 14:39:06 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.411116 s
Feb  7 14:54:32 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.318222 s
Feb  7 15:09:55 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.308120 s
Feb  7 15:25:49 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.388391 s
Feb  7 15:40:54 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.265464 s
Feb  7 15:55:57 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.257952 s
Feb  7 16:11:45 kg-f2 ntpd[910]: time reset +2.373325 s

and this goes on an on, forever. At any give time, no matter how long the 
machine has been up, ntpq ca report this:
r...@kg-f2# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
 kg-omni1.kg4.no 129.240.64.3     3 u   13   64   37    0.162  703.094 444.681

Note: all machines on my LAN use my firewall as the ntp server. 
The ntp server runs FreeBSD, none of the other machines have any trouble 
keeping time.
My workstation for example:
ti...@kg-v2$ ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
*kg-omni1.kg4.no 129.240.64.3     3 u   44   64  377    0.138    4.018   0.338
(my workstatuion also runs FreeBSD 8.0-stable / amd64)

The machine runs FreeBSD 8.0-stable / amd64:
r...@kg-f2# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-f2.kg4.no 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #2: Sun Jan 31 18:39:17 CET 
2010     r...@kg-f2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

So, how can I get the machine to keep time / get ntpd synchronised?
