Good afternoon David,
I think we are talking at cross-purposes: in case of Plan B, you
suggested to use the option "disable ntp" (so there should be no
frequency correction) and to read the time offset at intervals using
ntpq -c 'rv <assoc_id_of_peer>'
If I configure ntp that way, this is how the billboard looks on my
system after some days of running time:
# ntpq -c 'rv 16532'
status=9634 reach, conf, sel_sys.peer, 3 events, event_reach,
srcadr=10.0.0.254, srcport=123, dstadr=0.0.0.0, dstport=123, keyid=0,
stratum=1, precision=-18, rootdelay=0.000, rootdispersion=6.989,
refid=DCFa, reftime=c7919b26.416249a1 Mon, Feb 6 2006 10:53:42.255,
delay=0.688, offset=-114389.792, jitter=75.264, dispersion=0.947,
reach=377, valid=7, hmode=3, pmode=4, hpoll=6, ppoll=6, leap=00,
flash=00 ok, org=c7919b4f.ed9e6256 Mon, Feb 6 2006 10:54:23.928,
rec=c7919bc2.517e5647 Mon, Feb 6 2006 10:56:18.318,
xmt=c7919bc2.514cec41 Mon, Feb 6 2006 10:56:18.317,
filtdelay= 0.69 0.68 0.77 0.79 0.88 0.77 0.69 0.69,
filtoffset= -114389 -114372 -114353 -114335 -114316 -114299 -114282 -114264,
filtdisp= 0.01 0.97 1.96 2.92 3.91 4.87 5.83 6.82
I was asking about reading the "offset" variable:
offset=-114389.792
What is the corresponding time when this variable was set? The
billboard show several candidates ("reftime", "org", "rec" or "xmt"),
but I don't know which one is the correct one.
Cheers
Daniel

Daniel,
Your question does not parse. The frequency correction has nothing to do
with the state variables you quote. The time the frequency correction is
monitored is prominently displayed on the ntpq rv billboard.
