No. The scrollback may be too short (especially after an fsck of a
large filesystem after a crash), and it may even be empty (if you put
something like VESA_132x60 in allscreens_flags in rc.conf)

Doesn't ntpdate log what it does with syslog? If not, I think
whichever syscall it is that ntpdate uses to adjust the time should
printf() or log() the change.
