yes the problem is that:

after starting ntpd time is exactly fine

ntpd_sync_on_start=YES
ntpd_enable=YES


but then while ntpd works, time seems to get out of sync to the extent of 
normal RTC imprecission - in order of few seconds per day.

ntpd seems like not to update time properly.

restarting ntpd fixes time again.

what should i look at to find a source of problem
