We all wrong ,what I looks for is the command --ntptime,there is a maxerror parameter in it .It is what I looks for.
maxerror is a statistic. It doesn't control the operation of ntpd in any way. If you can set it, it is only in order to control the value that other people read. That is not something that would be useful to do with ntptime unless ntpd was not running.
Also, in practice, if allowed to take its natural value, it is almost always many times larger than the true error.
It grows with time, being reset each time ntpd receives a valid time from a server. I think it will be reset to a value that depends on the error statistics received from the server.
It is possible that what you really want is "tos maxdistance", but I am guessing what you are really trying to do.
