Hello!

I think that one important step is missing:

Plan B

1. Run ntptime -f 0 to remove any leftover kernel bias.

Here one should also remove the frequency file "ntp.drift". Otherwise NTP daemon reads it and configures the kernel clock adjustment parameters. In this case one ends up measuring a residual frequency error as part of the frequency error has been compensated.


2. Configure for a reliable server over a quiet network link.

3. Start the daemon with disable ntp in the configuration file.

4. Record the offset over a period of hours. Do a least-squares fit; the regression line slope is the frequency.
