Good. That should have gotten your clock reasonably
sync'ed.

Then I ran /etc/rc.d/ntpd and that started up
fine.

The followind day I find that the system still
thinks
it is the previous day and such.

I thought the purpose of ntp was to keep the time
correct, why would it be off?

NTPd does a good job of keeping the clock synced if
properly
configured, so there is likely to be something wrong
with your
specific circumstances. What does "ntpq -p" show?
