Uh oh, top posting? ;)

Yes, ntp is running and is properly, I believe.  It snaps in
once I get the time setting close enough.  Somehow time
is off anywhere from 2-8 hours in the past or in the future
after a reboot.

FYI, here is my ntp.conf
=======================================
cat /etc/ntp.conf
# For more information about this file, see the man pages
# ntp.conf(5), ntp_acc(5), ntp_auth(5), ntp_clock(5), ntp_misc(5), 
ntp_mon(5).

# permit the source to query or modify the service on this system.

# be tightened as well, but to do so would effect some of
