When I first started ntpd, it seemingly did nothing to correct the badly
off clock on my machine. I didn't have time or desire to mess with it
then, so forgot it. About 2 days later, I noticed that the time had
been corrected.
My admitted abysmal ignorance should be allowed for, but my
understanding is that only a small slewing of the clock rate can be done
at each connection.
