When ntpd is running, ntpd sets the time.  The TODR is just something
that gets things kinda close for ntpd to actually do its work.  Of
course, since all my 5.x experience is done on machines that get the
time from GPS and the local time doesn't matter at all, I might not
have noticed something like that.
