Ntp question

Good afternnoon,
    I am a little baffle by this. I have several Unix and linux servers
running solaris 8 and Suse8.1 respectively. There are all NIS'd. I have
one sever that is NOT nis'd but running solaris 8 as well. All the other
machines keep time fine with the NTPserver. Very little discrepancy. As
much as I do an rdate and sync the non-nis'd machine to the NTPserver,
it always runs out about 2-3seconds. My option is to run a cronjob that
does an rdate every 15min. Is there a reason why this machine continues
to run ahead so consistently ? If anyone would like logs or any other
info to help, I would gladly provide.
Here's a sample of the ntp.conf file:
# @(#)ntp.client 1.2 96/11/06 SMI
#
# /etc/inet/ntp.client
#
# An example file that could be copied over to /etc/inet/ntp.conf; it
# provides a configuration for a host that passively waits for a server
# to provide NTP packets on the ntp multicast net.
#
server 192.168.0.10
driftfile /var/ntp/ntp.drift
# multicastclient 224.0.1.1
