The following reply was made to PR kern/10361; it has been noted by GNATS. From: patl@phoenix.volant.org To: nsayer@quack.kfu.com Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: kern/10361: securelevel>=1 too restrictive on time changes Date: Wed, 3 Mar 1999 10:57:24 -0800 (PST) securelevel>0 does not allow negative time changes.

Either that or xntpd should have a > (non-compile) option to disallow stepping. As a work-around, try running ntpdate once during startup before starting xntpd or increasing the securelevel. -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
