In /etc/ntp.conf set the server to whatever you want to use.
server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
or server time.nist.gov
and set the drift file to driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
Then "service ntpd start"
That should be all you need.
looks like ntpd is starting fine. okay from /var/log/messages

I am still seeing the time off by about an hour and 9 minutes.

Manually set your clock with the date command, or if you're using a GUI, right click on the front panel clock and select "Adjust Date and Time". You only need to get it correct within a few minutes.
I believe ntpd won't adjust a system clock if it's off by a lot (like an hour).
