One minor (operational! -- gasp) addition:
More modern copies of ntpd have a '-g' option that will allow the clock to jump once at boot time.
OK. Am I in a alternate universe? I have run ntpdate for years on a variety of systems, almost all of the BSD family. (I count the VMS implementation in TGV software as BSD.) I have never seen '-g' and have always had '-b' as the boot option. I have confirmed the '-b' with the official sources at Deleware. -- R.
