Please try to be a little more careful: the above is incorrect.
From ntpd(8):
-g Normally, ntpd exits with a message to the system log if the off-
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 thresh-
old is exceeded after that, ntpd will exit with a message to the
system log. This option can be used with the -q and -x options.
See the tinker command for other options.
From 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
