Hello.

ntp does not tell the kernel to do so.  The kernel does so when

STA_UNSYNC.  But it is true that only ntpd sets this and not
ntpdate.  I'm not sure it's a good idea to set this in something
like ntpdate or since it might only runs once.  The current
implementation only seems to be doing this after an adjtimex()
call.
    I don't understand why it isn't a good idea to do it in ntpdate.
Doesn't ntpdate get an accurate time at the moment it runs that should be more accurate than the RTC? Sorry, I am not an expert though I would like to know why that is a bad idea.
    Thanks for your info!
    Have a nice day!
