Supposedly that's what the /etc/ntp/step-tickers file is for. Just add
it to the synclist or to the setupntp postscript (I just add a simple
echo "$i" >>$step_tickers_file' and an 'echo $master ...' in the for
loop after setting the step_tickers_file to the above file).
Did you try "hwclock --systohc --localtime"? possibly adding that to the
end of the setupntp script might also help.

It may be easier to also just add a call to 'ntpdate' in your setupntp
script to initially set the date without having to wait for ntpd to
align itself over time if you're starting from a big time delta.

I have no idea why it comes up so far off, but do you have
setupntp in your postscripts. At least that should help realign
it over time.
It does assume you have setup the MN as a ntp server.

Thanks Lisa. The postscript itself is not being used, but NTP is
configured on the nodes. It does eventually bring them in line with
the hardware clock, but unfortunately still doesn't solve the initial
problem of it being off.
I am trying to figure out what is causing this without having to
resort to a hackish way of fixing it :) Someone else on a different
mailing list mentioned that the "Could not access the hardware clock
via any known methods" error is a hint that the initrd is missing the
needed modules to properly access the hardware clock. I am going to
dive down that road on Tuesday and see what I'm able to dig up.
