ntpd as broadcastclient - not working?

Hi folks,

I have Tardis (Windows) running on my network broadcasting NTP 
time signals (right now every 4 seconds), but the 
FreeBSD machine is running 5 seconds faster than 
all the other computers.


Here are the lines that I added to /etc/rc.conf:

xntpd_enable="YES"
xntpd_flags="-A -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -l /var/log/ntpd.log" 

(Both 'top' and 'ps -aux' show ntpd running after I rebooted.


Here are the lines that I added to /etc/ntp.conf:

driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
broadcastclient


Does anyone have some ideas why it isn't synching up?


Thanks for your help if you can!
