Larry, I've not had need, nor interest, in delving into the differences between kernel, system, and hardware clocks. My concern was to get the two portables keeping the correct time as they had before. While /usr/sbin/ntpd is run from /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd when systems boot, for some reason that is not sufficient for the Sony and Toshiba. But, running it again from /etc/rc.d/rc.local at the end of the boot sequence fixed the problem, at least on the Toshiba. Getting the Sony booting again is on Saturday afternoon's schedule, and I expect that it will also keep correct time by the extra invocation of ntpd. It ain't elegant, but it does the job.
