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.
