ntp is very clever in some ways and very unhelpful in others (like grid
software in fact :) For example, if the time is more than something like
30 minutes wrong ntp just gives up and exits - it would be a good idea
to monitor whether ntpd is running on your nodes. Also I think it only
adjusts the software clock and not the hardware one, and hardware clocks
can sometimes drift a lot. If you go a long time without syncing it it
may be way out, but you probably won't find out until the node is
rebooted.
