It happened to me when I first set up ntpdate a couple weeks
ago.
I *guessed* (caveat emptor) that the current system time was too
far off for ntpdate to consider any of the received values
plausible. So I used the ntpdate argument to just show results,
not set the clock, then used date to set the clock more or less
to the minute. After that, ntpdate worked (and is now adjusting
time upon PPP dial-up but no more than once an hour).
