-g is the sanity check. If the system time is more than -g's value
off (default 1000 seconds) then ntpd says "see ya!" and quits.
Setting it to 0 should prevent ntpd from quitting. running ntpdate as
you did before restarting ntpd accomplishes the same thing but does it
much faster. ntpdate sets the time now whereas ntpd with a large
clock skew will take a while to sync up.
