ntp (open and otherwise) only deals in UTC - the time the system shows
when you you type 'date' is a function of UTC and the timezone setting
for the system.  run sysinstall then select configure and timezone to
set the correct timezone from the menu. 

On another note openntp is not particularly accurate (if you can live
with +/- 100ms then fine otherwise use ntpd)
