I have a machine running xntpd on 2.1.131, and it is keeping
synchronised just fine.

On the other hand, I did `ntpdate -B' to update time on another machine
running 2.1.131 -- requiring an adjustment of -123 seconds. It's fair
to expect the adjustment to be slow, but I saw no adjustment at all over
a period of 1 hour. How long should I expect a 123 second time slew to
take?
