Linux server time getting out of sync frequently.

[bruce]

is this a straight rhel install, or is it running an vmware or some virtual
system?

Time on my linux server gets out of sync.  The ntpd service is setup... and
we have configured /etc/ntp.conf accordingly.
This is the only linux server that is having this problem.  Also some
times... I find ntp service is dead. Please suggest.

# service ntpd status
ntpd dead but pid file exists
