Hi Russell,
NTPDATE sets the clock only when invoked (in your case, possibly, only at
boot?).
You should run the daemon (NTPD) or run NTPDATE periodically (as a cron job) to
keep the clock accurate.
I believe that there are variations on these commands (the details escape me at
the moment) which also update your real-time clock.
