Apologies for the delay in responding. Your mail got filtered to a folder that I don't check frequently. I only just saw your mail while preparing a new upload.

I've just uploaded a new version 4.0 to unstable. The instructions to enable systemd services were out of date - the new upload updates these. Quoting from the README - ｜ 2. Systemd services ｜ ｜ linuxptp package ships with service templates for ptp4l and ｜ phc2sys. The services need to be instantiated for the required network ｜ interface. ｜ ｜ For instance, to instantiate ptp4l service for eth2, ｜ ｜ $ systemctl enable ptp4l@eth2 ｜ $ systemctl enable ptp4l@eth2 ｜ ｜ Replace 'eth2' with the actual network interface. ｜ ｜ The service phc2sys syncs the system clock with the PTP clock. It is not ｜ enabled and started by default. To activate this service, invoke the ｜ following commands as root: ｜ ｜ $ systemctl enable phc2sys@<interface> ｜ $ systemctl start phc2sys@<interface> ｜ ｜ Replace '<interface>' with the actual port, e.g., eth2. Hope this helps. Regards, Punit
