Strong resistance. Based on good reasons. And I have to say the current gpsd/ntpd handshake is just not very good right now. The GPSD NG driver has seriously bad bahavior by default and the SHM driver depends on a deprecated syscall. In both the above cases let's not make the best solution get in the way of the good enough one. gpsd really shines for standalone, non-network time keeping, and that is where ntpd, by design, sucks. So until a good working handshake is rock solid, and standalone is well supported, I say keep 20. RGDS GARY --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary E.
