RH72 and RH73 up to date systems.  Having problems again.

Have a RH72 server (mytimeserver) that gets its time data from the internet
with a ntp.conf like:

  server time.nist.gov
  server time-nw.nist.gov
  driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
  authentication no

Then I have RH73 clients that access mytimeserver for time data with
ntp.conf files like:

  server time.npn
  driftfile /etc/ntp/drift

Running ntpdc -p mytimeserver shows:

 remote            local st poll reach   delay    offset    disp
 ===============================================================
 =time.nist.gov    <ip>   1  512   377 0.08646 -0.001785 0.00931
 =time-nw.nist.gov <ip>   1  512   377 0.05180 -0.002222 0.00662

Running ntpdc -p mytimeclient shows:

 remote        local st poll reach   delay    offset    disp
 ===========================================================
 *mytimeserver <ip>   2  128   377 0.00165 -0.000115 0.00095

Not sure what the "=" and "*" are.

The problem is one of my systems doesn't seems to be updating time data.
This seems to happen when the systems reboots and doens't have a good
hardware clock time.

Running ntpdate -u mytimeserver fails for what I can only figure is a large
difference in current system time to actually time.  I have to use rdate -s
time.nist.gov;hwclock --systohc to get it synced up correctly.  Then I seem
able to have ntpd keep up.  Anything I'm missing here?
