Right. You're looking at this as a DST problem, when in reality it's just
a "clock is too far off for ntpd to sync normally" problem. You want to
have a more general solution for that problem in any case. Adding
ntpd_sync_on_start to /etc/rc.conf is one way to accomplish that, there
are others of course.
