This "adujsting by" information is not available to ntpd. ntpd requests an adjustment using the adjtim(2) system call. The argument is the actual offset. It is up to the kernel to decide how fast the adjustment will be done. Both Theo and Henning have stated very clearly the log message is not going to change. So there's no point in coming up with new suggestions. -Otto
