[ntp:questions] Flash 400 on all peers; can't get ntpd to be happy

Yes this is a VM (see other ealier posts about that).  I've been trying to get the clock to behave but haven't found the solution.  Some people seem to think there isn't an answer.  I'm not after super accurate time here, I just want my clock to stay within a minute or two of what actual time is.

I'm certainly willing to turn off the panic 0 directive, but before I had it turned on ntpd wasn't making adjustments to the clock (I think because it was exceeding it's panic threshold all the time).

Is the newer version going to help?  And if so, has anyone rpm'd it up?  Maybe I lack coolness factor for saying this, but I'm not really into compiling my own software or manually deploying by hand.

ntpq -p looks like the following....

ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
