Here is the /var/log/ntp

Now what is the appropriate configuration of /etc/ntp.conf ?
At the minimum, you just need to add one or more time servers to connect to in your /etc/ntp.conf file, something like (use whichever public time servers that you prefer, hopefully one that is close to your machine in terms of number of network hops):
server clock.isc.org server clock.llnl.gov
See the comments in the file for info. You can comment out the server definitions for 127.x.x.x.
I start the xntpd using the following line in the boot.local
/usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/lib/ntp/var/run/ntp/ntpd.pid -u ntp:nogroup -i /var/lib/ntp -c /etc/ntp.conf -c /etc/ntp.conf
That's not the proper way to do it on a SuSE 9 box. To enable ntpd, just do the following as root:
$ chkconfig -a xntpd $ rcxntpd start
And then ntpd will be activated. It will also auto-start each time you boot.
