But your sys clock has to be fairly close to the correct time or ntp will puke.
I don't know about 9.3, but later releases included an 'ntpdate' call in the init-script.
If you tried to set time with ntp when the time was too far off, you may need to delete your /var/lib/ntp/drift/ntp.drift file, get the clock close, and then restart ntpd. (don't worry, the drift file will be recreated for you)
I don't think there's any need to delete the drift file, but setting the time from an NTP server is easily accomplished by 'ntpdate'.
