There are options that make ntp synchronization very poor. From the error message he's getting this doesn't look like an ntpd problem at all. When the init script says "Synchronizing with time server:" it actually runs ntpdate. This happens whenever there is either a non-zero /etc/ntp/step-tickers file, or the -x options is given /etc/sysconfig/ntpd. The time server arguments given to ntpdate are the contents of step-tickers, or if that's empty, are parsed out of ntp.conf. Since -x is not present in /etc/sysconfig/ntpd by default I assume the OP has a step-tickers file. The servers listed in there may or may not be the sames ones as in ntp.conf. That's the first think I'd check: ntpdate -d -b `cat /etc/ntp/step-tickers` Cheers Steffen.
