On what kind of system? HOw big a step? ntp should NOT have to step the
time except maybe when it is started up on bootup. If it steps the time.
then there is something very wrong in your system. Find out what it is. 
The only log event might be to notice that the offset is say >50ms. Use
that as your warning.
