Yes, the "ntpd -g -q" work better; the time is adjusted correctly. with /htpdate 1.ro.pool.ntp.org I always got the same Offset number, doesn't matter how many time I run it.

[gentoo-user] setting system time
Try to set system clock via script: /usr/sbin/htpdate 1.ro.pool.ntp.org /sbin/hwclock -w But when I run it always prints: Offset 38.000 seconds The system clock does not adjust.
