In general, one uses ntpdate to fix big time slews (like the 5 hour one
mentioned) and then ntp.  (There's an ntpd flag to tell it to make huge
corrections in one shot, but it *seems* to me--I could be wrong, and too
lazy to check right now--that it's considered best practice to use
ntpdate once to correct the big time slew, then start ntpd.

(For those unfamiliar with it, ntpdate requires a server as argument,
e.g., ntpdate mytimeserver)

So, your memory is probably correct.  :)
