While the idea is laudable, it causes problems for xntpd on new machines that have to step the clock at first in order to get "dialed in" Perhaps allowing changes of a couple seconds or less or something that should be done instead. Either that or xntpd should have a (non-compile) option to disallow stepping. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
