ntp problems

[Lou Hevly <lou_(_at_)_visca_(_dot_)_com>]

Greetings:

I'm running OpenBSD 3.1 and have the xntpd daemon running to set my 
system time:

root     18013  0.0  0.5   332   580 ??  S<s   28Oct02    1:30.57
/usr/local/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid (xntpd)

However, when I check the syncronization using ntpdate, the offset is 
more than 90 seconds:

$ ntpdate -q 192.5.41.40
server 192.5.41.40, stratum 1, offset 99.106836, delay 0.04544
20 Nov 10:54:31 ntpdate[14096]: step time server 192.5.41.40 offset 
99.106836 sec

What's more, this discrepancy is growing.

Here's my ntp.conf file:

$ cat /etc/ntp.conf
server 192.5.41.40 prefer
server 192.43.244.18

Would someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Thanks for your 
help.
