Stop the NTP daemon and restart it so that it uses the "-x" option. From ntpd(8):
-x Normally, the time is slewed if the offset is less than the step
threshold, which is 128 ms by default, and stepped if above the
threshold. This option forces the time to be slewed in all
cases. If the step threshold is set to zero, all offsets are
stepped, regardless of value and regardless of the -x option. In
general, this is not a good idea, as it bypasses the clock state
machine which is designed to cope with large time and frequency
errors Note: Since the slew rate is limited to 0.5 ms/s, each
second of adjustment requires an amortization interval of 2000 s.
Thus, an adjustment of many seconds can take hours or days to
amortize. This option can be used with the -q option.
When you restart it make sure it's done with all the CLI options it has now, with the addition of the "-x".
