This is not quite enough information. What kind of box is it? I'm not
sure the people here are as happy with Linux dmesgs as OpenBSD ones, but
please send them anyway.
Does OpenNTPd at least attempt to synchronize? What do the logs tell
you? Does it complain? Does it drift farther and farther apart?
Is the clock on these machines reasonably good? Otherwise, they might
drift faster than OpenNTPd can adjust (via adjtime(2)).
