Please try to be a little more careful: the above is incorrect. =46rom ntpd(8): -g Normally, ntpd exits with a message to the system log if the o= ff- set exceeds the panic threshold, which is 1000 s by default. This option allows thetime to be set to any value without restriction; however, this can happen only once. If the thres= h- old is exceeded after that, ntpd will exit with a message to t= he system log. This option can be used with the -q and -x option= s. See the tinker command for other options. =46rom ntpdate(8): DESCRIPTION Note: The functionality of this program is now available in the ntpd(8) program. See the -q command line option in the ntpd(8) page. After a suitable period of mourning, the ntpdate utility is to be retired from this distribution. Peace, david --=20 David H.
