Using the "-g" option does not make any difference.
Does -g -q -x before starting NTPd as a service not get you there?

This does also not work. Thanks all for you input.

I'm afraid i have to add a workaround in my application which also gets the gps 
input,
to set the time when it's more then 4 hours away from gps time.

I think a better answer is to disable ntpd's "panic" threshold
entirely with "tinker panic 0" in ntp.conf.

Hoping to stick a fork in the meat of this conversation,
Dave Hart
Can you please share any good AND bad side effects from adding this option to our conf files ? I do not have enough knowledge about the internals of ntpd to make heads or tail what side effects there may be form this .
