Re: [gentoo-user] Re: ntp won't synchronize

[W.Kenworthy]

Default behaviour is that if the time zone is off by more than a preset
amount (I think 128ms) it will refuse to sync, and silently fails.

Read the docs for the config file command "tinker panic 0" (and its
implications) which will remove the limitation and allow stepping to the
new time.

Also ntpd can be started with the -g arg to get the same effect.
