I did find it in the 'ntpd -v' output as well: | This version was compiled with the following clock drivers: | GENERIC NMEA PPS SHM GPSD (very generous with whitespace I see) I'd add it to ntpd -V output. > > - DEBUGGING: log slewing changes > That's in loopstats. I mean when timing changes are applied to the kernel. step_systime emits a WARN on changing time, but adj_systime emits NOTHING unless there is an error. I'd add a DEBUG-level output after the change, identical to the step_systime output. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation Treasurer E-Mail : robb...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136
