I assume by that, you mean that the puppet agent run completes without
issues, and that the NTP configuration looks as you would expect it to
following the successful run?

Do you mean the time is incorrect, or the timezone is incorrect?

One issue with ntpd is that, if the time is too far off your time source,
then if the '-x' option is given to ntpd, it will not 'jump' the time
forward or back. A manual 'ntpdate your.ntp.server' is required then to
jump it to the correct time.

If you run the following on one of your failing hosts, what does it output?

ntpdate -q your.ntp.server

On a correctly syncing server here, I see:

server my.ntp.server, stratum 2, offset 0.008437, delay 0.05721
22 Oct 12:34:27 ntpdate[25978]: adjust time server my.ntp.server offset
0.008437 sec

ntpd(8) is enlightening as to how quickly/slowly, if at all, the clock will
be adjusted in various situations.

Matt.
