If the system time is more than -g's value off (default 1000 seconds) then ntpd says "see ya!" and quits. Setting it to 0 should prevent ntpd from quitting. running ntpdate as you did before restarting ntpd accomplishes the same thing but does it much faster. ntpdate sets the time now whereas ntpd with a large clock skew will take a while to sync up. --Rich P.
