ntp should do that anyway - check you have a drift file defined in ntp.conf
# Drift file. Put this in a directory which the daemon can write to. # No symbolic links allowed, either, since the daemon updates the file # by creating a temporary in the same directory and then rename()'ing # it to the file. # driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
Over time it will adjust to suit and step the changes gracefully.
