Serge, That was removed as a significant security hazard. If you want to rxplicitly set the frequency, use ntptime -f. Ths scheme is designed so you can run ntpd until the kernel frequency has stabilized, then kill ntpd and run SNTP client at regular intervals. I surely wouldn't recommend that, but folks have their biases.
