The reason it was disabled, was that we believed that one clock source did a better job of keeping accurate time, then switching between 2 (system, and the hardware clock). We actually use this code in BLFS, under http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/basicnet/ntp.html as we consider ntpd an accurate source. -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) ------ Location: British Columbia, Canada Timezone: PST (-8) Webpage: http://www.nathancoulson.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
