On Debian systems I'm very happy with the OpenBSD NTP daemon. Package: openntpd This ntpd adjusts the local time in little steps.
Also on startup? ntpd uses little steps while running, too. But only at startup it seems to do a big step.
But as I have found in the Debian-Changelog ntpd should handle the unreachable server situation automatically in current versions. This is way the "dynamic" command is obsolete. Maybe I did not wait long enough when testing this. So I could try ntpd again. But good to know there is the alternative openntp
From the openntp package description: "Alternative packages which provide similar functionality are ntp and chrony."
And chrony does what clockspeed seems to do. ;) "`chronyd' determines the rate at which the computer gains or loses time, and compensates for this."
