I wanted to confirm that my understanding of the step threshold and
how it applies to ntpd used with -g -q options (similar to ntpdate) is
correct.

With the default step threshold of 128 ms, if a machine's time is
within 128 ms of the ntp server's time, when it syncs with the server,
will it exit from ntpd -g -q without stepping the clock?

This appears to be the behavior I am seeing.  I tried setting the
clock on my machine off by 110 msec from the ntp server and it didn't
step the clock.  When I set it off by 220 msec it did step it.

Thanks,
Steve
