you can also use the -g option:

       -g      Normally,  ntpd  exits with a message to the system log if the
               offset exceeds  the  panic  threshold,  which  is  1000  s  by
               default.  This  option  allows the time to be set to any value
               without restriction; however, this can happen  only  once.  If
               the  threshold  is  exceeded after that, ntpd will exit with a
               message to the system log. This option can be used with the -q
               and -x options. See the tinker command for other options.
