I am not sure about recent ntpd versions, but they were originally only designed for permanent connections.
I use chronyd, which was designed to keep track when machines are offline. www.chrony.org One problem with RH7.3 is that one needs to remove the command 'hwclock --systohc' from /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt otherwise it gets really confused.
