ntpdate problem?

Hi All,

As always I have tried to search the archives to answer this question but
did not see anything like what I am experiencing.

On one of my LPAR's p650 I have noticed the problem with date and time
stamp not showing the "time of day" on files written to a NFS mounted
directory. I have several file systems coming from multiple servers. Some
"SUN" and some RS/6000's, it does not matter what server the file systems
are being exported from. I then noticed my time was off about 13 minutes
on this LPAR. I ran ntpdate to the server we use to synch date and time.
When it returned, my date was changed 9 hours in the future. I thought the
date was wrong on that server and tried the secondary server and received
the same date and time.

I change the date with the date command and that is fine. I have used
ntpdate -d to see if that shows anything odd but I did not see anything
that jumps out at me. However not sure if I would noticed anyway as that
is the first time I ran ntpdate with the "-d " option. I have checked out
the man page over and over and did a search on google groups. Still not
sure why this is happening. Any thoughts on what I might look for?

As always, Thanks in advance.
John
