NTPD not keeping time

[Kris Anderson]

Hi folks,
Having an issue with ntpd not keeping the correct
time.

I first ran ntpdate from /etc/rc.d/ntpdate and that
set the date and time.

Then I ran /etc/rc.d/ntpd and that started up fine.

The followind day I find that the system still thinks
it is the previous day and such.

I thought the purpose of ntp was to keep the time
correct, why would it be off?

Here is my ntp.conf.

logconfig =syncstatus +sysevents
logfile /var/log/ntp.log

server time-a.nist.gov prefer   iburst
server utcnist.colorado.edu     iburst
server lerc-dns.lerc.nasa.gov   iburst

driftfile /var/db/ntp.drift

Contents of ntp.drift
