ntpd has a sanity check -- if the clock is out by more than 1000
seconds it will give up.  So you may have to manually set the clock to
something close to correct before ntpd will handle it.  Or pass ntpd
the "-g" flag to disable the initial sanity check, if you're sure you
trust your clock servers not to do something silly.
