[ntp:questions] ntp and date command

I am setting up a solaris 8 server as an v3 ntp client (using public ntp servers).  I can change the date and time and then start xntpd daemon with the start script and the time sets to the correct time.
   
  When I issue the "date" command, setting the clock back 10 minutes, the time doesn't seem to get set.  
   
  I do not use the ntpdate command, although the start script issues it one time first.  
   
  Why doesn't the time reset after the date command is issued.
   
  Thank you
   
  These are the messages when I execute the startup scripts
