Unfortunately, I have two situations where that isn't true. For the first, I wish that just loading the PPS drivers enabled the PPS_SYNC option in the kernel, but it doesn't seem to. (if there is a way to enable 'option PPS_SYNC' with a generic kernel I'd like to know, but my experients didn't lead me that working. I still have to compile the kernel for my GPS connected NTP servers. Which makes me wonder why the PPS drivers are a kernel loadable object. The second is that the username handling is still limited to 32-bytes, which really cramps my logins for 'billyjoebobuser@somesillydomainname.com' so I have to build a custom kernel with longer usernames patched for the systems that need to deal with system logins like that.
