You should check the man pages on this to be sure, but NTP will not adjust
the clock by more than a certain amount at once, so you may need to set it
manually with 'date' to something close to the current time.
I just dealt with this on a new gentoo install last night (it's amazing how much one can
forget between installs!).
The ntp ebuild comes with two rc scripts: ntpd and ntp-client. ntpd you already know
about, but if you run ntp-client ("/etc/init.d/ntp-client start", that is...), it will
fetch the correct time and set it for you (using a command called ntpdate... it's
configured in /etc/conf.d/ntp-client). Then ntpd can keep the time correctly.
