I read that one, and it refers to how ntpdate steps or slews.
I don't see any mention that xntpd behaves like ntpdate.

On my Unix box, every few days I see xnptd has stepped the clock.
But every day, I see it slewing the clock with calls to adjtime.
It chooses to step if the difference is > 0.5 sec.

I'd like to be more help on the Linux side of things, but the whole date/time 
subystem in Oxygen is broken w.r.t. timezones, so it's a disaster for me to 
even try.

Thanks,
Matthew
