Oops, I meant:
cp  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT+8        /etc/localtime
if you want  Pacific Time in GMT format (don't use GMT-8).

No way.

ntpd operates in gmt/utc only; localtime is completely out of the question.

Hmmm, are you using the same localtime in all machines?
I remember having the same problem several years ago, in 3.x, with a server. The clock kept walking. Hardware was OK. It came back to normal after setting localtime correctly.
Remember, if you are in Pacific Time you are GMT+8 (some people wrongly uses GMT-8), it means you have to add 8h to your localtime in order to get GMT. Your NTPD will never be stable with a wrong localtime setting.
