This is a strange one, I have multiple servers too but don't get
that one. Maybe it's because you tried to start it twice (it will
explain it because there is one with PID 70 and 257). Just adding
'xntpd_enable="YES"' in /etc/rc.conf hsould be enough to start it
at run-time.

This means that the initial adjustment is too big. Run 'ntpdate
ntp.online.no' once, it will set the clock right. After that, the
daemon can do it itself with minor adjustments (i.e. less than 1000
seconds :-)
