Setting time with rdate ( SCO x REDHAT )

I have 3 machines:
One with SCO Unixware, say machine A
The other two with RED HAT AS, late sy machines B and C

I need to syncronize the time between all those machines. For this I´m
using the rdate command on machines B and C picking the time from
machine A

Ex:. on machine B : rdate -s A ( it´s ip address )
on machine C : rdate -s A ( it´s ip address )

The problem is that I´m getting different results on the machines ( B
and C ).
I revised the environment of the machines and it´s looking the same on
both machines.

Can anyone help me to find way i´m getting different results with the
same time server?
