I know nothing about Slackware's ntpd setup, so in place of actual knowledge, I'd suggest this (all as root):

rc.ntpd stop
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
rc.ntpd start

The ntpdate command will force the system's time to update, even if it's a long way out of sync with standard time servers.

Paul,

I thought that the restart command would update the pools and didn't
consider stopping and starting...without the ntpdate command.

Many thanks,

Rich
