Thank you for your replies.

I figured out what it was and fixed it. The system time was set to
UTC. Nagios was set to EST, which automatically subtracted 5 hours
from the system time. I set the system time to EST and all was well.

Well, not a "production" server in the way that you mean. It is a
"crucial desktop".

I have been trying to do just that. I read through a lot of man
pages, information, etc. The question is, to what should I
synchronize *my* NTP server? Any old public NTP server? The NRC? 
If the server gives the wrong time, the clients will have the wrong
time, etc. 

Thank you.
