>Description:

securelevel>0 does not allow negative time changes. 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.
