In most cases we talk about, it can't be fixed permanently because this happens after (cold or warm) system restart, when ntpd can take up to 15 minutes (and in most cases about 3-5 minutes) to actually resync the time.

If you have a good drift file and use iburst (as discussed at http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/StartingNTP4 and also at http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/ConfiguringNTP) ntpd will have your clock sync'd in about 11 seconds' time.
