>Restart ntpd after deleting the drift file. I think some version of ndpd used to write out the drift file when it exited. (Maybe I'm dreaming and that was just a suggestion for purposes of discussion.)
So I would do stop ntpd delete the drift file start ntpd Then you know it got deleted. An alternative would be delete drift file restart ntpd check to make sure drift file is not there -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
