Oh, I took the question to be about the kerberos server. Yes, you are right,
ntpd -q returns different results on the two machines. However, as I said in the original post, the time on the two machines is the same to within a very small amount., well within the five minute tolerance used by kerberos. So I don't understand why it should matter that the two machines have arrived at the same time by syncing with different servers.

Could you tell me how to do this, or point me at a document that does?
Thanks.
