You sure the machine isn't setup to first ntpdate against the servers?
shrug. my experience is from a redhat 7 or 8 derivation from a few
years ago. I distinctly remember this because it was a real pain
trying to debug ntpd because I had to wait 10 minutes to verify that
my changes worked right.
It is true that "service ntpd start" does
a list of things.
One of the things it does do is an ntpdate in advance of ntpd.
It also interacts with the firewall which is while
I do use "service ntpd start" for no other reason than
it does things I like with ip filters.. I could hack it
and see how long it does take to sync ....
