[LinuxPPS] Fwd: Re: [ntp:questions] ntptime shows ERRORs

[Udo van den Heuvel]

People,

How to proceed from here?
Fix the issue ourselves? Ask linux-kernel?

Brian,

The ntp_adjtime() return code is decoded from the status word, which
shows nothing wrong. The Linux kernel NTP interface does not a complete
implementation as in Solaris or FreeBSD, for example. It, might have
bugs or has incorporated something not in the specification.
