Subject:   some machines won't run xntpd

I have a half dozen FBSD machines, 3.2R & 3.4R, where I'm trying to 
run xntpd from rc.local.

rc.local:

xntpd

rc.conf:

xntpd_enable="YES"
xntpd_program="ntpd"
xntpd_flags="-p /var/run/ntpd.pid"

ntp.conf:

server time.nist.gov prefer
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift

On 4 of the machines all, is cool. But on 2 machines, messages gives me:

Aug 20 23:35:06 ns2 xntpd[299]: xntpd version=3.4e (beta multicast); 
Tue Dec 28 21:19:34 GMT 1999 (1)
Aug 20 23:35:06 ns2 xntpd[299]: tickadj = 5, tick = 10000, tvu_maxslew = 495
Aug 20 23:35:06 ns2 xntpd[299]: using xntpd phase-lock loop
Aug 20 23:39:56 ns2 xntpd[299]: time error -3962.233950 is way too 
large (set clock manually)

.. but the log line timestamp of these two is essentially already "on 
the money", as are the 4 machines that run xntpd just fine.

On these two machines, the ntpd won't unloads (can't see it "ps aux | 
grep ntp").

What's going on?

tia,
Len
