        ntpdate can't run at the same time as xntpd (you can however
run `ntpdate -q' though but this only queries the time, it doesn't set 
the time).  You'll need to stop xntpd before running ntpdate.

    jfondow> I have the following ntp servers in /etc/ntp.conf: server
    jfondow> ntp2.usno.navy.mil # 192.5.41.209 server tick.gatech.edu
    jfondow> # 130.207.244.240

        Try running `ntpq localhost', and then use the `lpeers'
command which will let you see what servers xntpd is sync'd to.
