[SLUG] Why is time slipping?

Folks:

My wife's computer time is slipping, regardless of what I do. According
to ps ax, it's running the following:

/usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -u 116:116 -g

The server(s) being queries are pool.ntp.org.

With the -g parameter, if the network time and machine time are far off
from each other, ntp should simply reset the time properly. But that's
not what's happening.

Anyone have any idea why?

Paul
