286 .BR config/allow_step_at_boot |
|
287 A boolean which when true, allows ntpd to step the clock once at boot, even if slew_always is true. Normally |
|
288 when slew_always is true ntpd will not step the clock except for very large offsets. Since the intial offset |
|
289 when the system is booted could be large and no applications will be running yet, this option allows one step |
|
290 as soon as the offset is determined. If slew_always is false or if the \fBNTP\fP service is being restarted, then |
|
291 this option has no effect. The default is true. |
