Only the part that disallows setting the clock forward is correct. Bugs in the other parts include: - success is returned after clamping the time to a time other than the one requested. - error messages about clamping are printed at splhigh(). An application can only avoid these problems by being fairly aware of the implementation and doing micro-adjustments, but micro-adjustments can be done better using adjtime(2), modulo the reluctance of adjtime() to adjust the time rapidly.
