Bug Description
When I run ntpd, then my clock is NOT synchronized at all, my clock drifts and after few days is 10 minutes off from pool.ntp.org
When I run by hand: ntpdate pool.ntp.org then time corrects itself.
up-to-date ubuntu 8.04 amd64
ii ntp 1:4.2.4p4+

To clarify:
1. yes, ntpd was running (ps aux....) /help.ubuntu. com/8.04/ serverguide/ C/NTP.html)
2. yes, the time drifts slowly away from real tim
3. yes, I have ntp servers configured (the default) /etc/ntp.conf
server ntp.ubuntu.com
server pool.ntp.org
4. no, I dont have no strange special settings or nothing like that
5. I was testing it for some time now, and when ever I leave ntpd running - then time slowly drifts away, and whenever I use ntpdate pool.ntp.org the time is correct (but I want to use ntpd not ntpdate beacuse ntpd can apply the corrections more precisely - https:/
