What will happen when ntpd is started has been discussed
elsewhere in this thread.
If you want to clear a very large error by a pure slew,
the best way is not to start ntpd until you have cleared
the error, but, instead, to use whatever utility your OS
uses to access the system calls that ntpd uses, and set
a high slew rate, which you only clear when you are
approaching zero offset.
But why should he have to do this by hand? Why should ntpd
not do it for him? Taking care of such housekeeping is
what computers are good for.
It will, that is what the step is, if panic is disabled.
I am unclear though if the OP didn't want to step the time
when starting ntp, apparently long after system is booted,
{If so I doubt they would want to manually step either};
or just not wanting a step when internet connectivity reoccurs,
while the system and ntp had been already running?
I was describing how to do a rapid slew manually, not how to do a step.
