​The "drms" value is the key here, you just have to make sure that maxcyc
is large enough to minimize to the drms criteria. But yes, this would be
the general approach by which you would get rid of negative/imaginary
frequencies.

​Mathematically speaking you need to get to a true local minimum. In
practice, this is difficult to do for large biomolecules with such a
complex potential energy function.
