Thanks to those who clued me in on the use of "tickadj". That portion appears to be working now. I have another problem, though. Upon booting, the tickadj seems to work and then the following diagnostic appears: /usr/local/sbin/ntpdate: sendto(130.126.174.40): Network is unreachable . . (two other ip numbers listed and sequence repeated about 10X) . /usr/local/sbin/ntpdate: no server suitable for synchronization found I thought that the original sites (stratum 1), were wasteful, so replaced those in the /etc/rc.local file with 3 local machine numbers (stratum 2 machines) and then got the following message after a second boot attempt: Mar 19 19:23:49 reepicheep xntp[96]: send to(128.174.5.50): Host is unreachable. . . (two other ip numbers repeated once but the machines were verified up) . Below is the pertinent portion of the /etc/rc.local file. Any suggestions?
