under the Network Time Protocol tab, under Advanced Options,
you can check the box:  Synchronize system clock before starting service
IIRC, this should correct your clock before ntpd starts....

I also seen to remember that it is possible to write your system's time 
*back* to the CMOS clock during shutdown.  I just can't seem to find out 
where that gets configured ATM.
