Yup, /etc/conf.d/ntpd is the same except for the server. If I stop ntpd 
and do ntpdate [the server named] I get:

MRK root # ntpdate tock.usno.navy.mil
22 Mar 14:46:00 ntpdate[20695]: adjust time server 192.5.41.41 offset 
-0.002197 sec

/etc/ntp.conf is all commented except for the 3 servers below

server ntp2.usno.navy.mil       iburst
server tick.usno.navy.mil       iburst
server tock.usno.navy.mil       iburst

ant the logfile and driftfile lines

All 3 servers are reachable with the ntpdate command

and

MRK root # ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  
jitter
==============================================================================
*ntp2.usno.navy. .PSC.            1 u   10   64   37   90.429    1.822   
5.673
+ntp0.usno.navy. .PSC.            1 u    4   64   37   83.955    2.160   
0.046
+tock.usno.navy. .PSC.            1 u   64   64   17   85.316    1.973   
0.803

I'm not so sure that I really have a problem as the clock is rarely more 
than 2 miliseconds off. The drift # (-143.870) bothers me. This is near 
the offset I had the first time I ran ntpdate. Seeing that the time is 
essentially correct now, should I set the drift to 0 or to the ofset I 
get the next time I call "ntpdate?
