Brian,

If you start ntpd with a "disable ntp" in the configuration file, it 
will not discipline the frequency or time. If you remove the ntp.drift 
file and include that command, it will not initialize the frequency. It 
is helpful in some circumstances to initialize the frequency but not 
discipline the time/frequency. That's why the "disable ntp" does not 
ipso facto initialize the frequency.
