Yes, although I have never checked all the boundary conditions to make sure the kernel-pll is stable over the entire envelope. I'm doing that for the NTPv4/nanokernel combo, and I'm resolving the problems I find with Dave Mills. >And why has the manual page never been updated, it is clearly wrong >when it talks about the contents of driftfile! :-( I updated neither the manpage nor the code because of the above. >> Anyway, ntpd4 is in CURRENT... > >Well... that won't help the 20 or so boxes here doing this all the >time: >Jan 1 11:26:46 gndrsh xntpd[133]: time reset (step) -0.217546 s >Jan 1 11:32:06 gndrsh xntpd[133]: time reset (step) 0.207523 s (-0.217546 - 0.207523) / (14 + 5 * 60 + 6) = -.001328340 Your clock is too sick, (or our calibration of it is hosed), no version of {X}NTP will touch a clock which is outside +/- 500ppm. Could you try to measure the 14.31818... MHz base frequency and the 32768 kHz wristwatch xtal as well (I know you're RadioActive, so I pressume you have a counter ?) If they're both OK, then we have a code problem... -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
