Hello,

You say ntpd is running.
Is it running as a daemon ?

AFAIK, to keep good time on a linux machine inside the network,
you need to run "ntpdate" and not "ntpd".

I had _exactly_ the same problem and I was running an ntp daemon.
I wasn't actually syncing to anything.

So,I did some searching and found out that I need to run 
"ntpdate ntp.server.fqdn", then add this same line to cron.

HTH,

s.
