It expects UTC.  Only.  No options needed.


For reference, my master is configured in hardware mode this way:

    # ptp4l -i eno1

A slave works fine in software mode this way:

    # ptp4l -i eno2 -s -l 5 --clock_servo ntpshm --ntpshm_segment 2 -S

ntpshmmon and ntpd are happy.  ntpmon shows jitter from 1.5 to 9 micro
seconds on SHM(2).

Thanks!  That works on two hosts.

The jitter is a bit better, not sure how much until it settles down.

A lot of your config was just specifying defaults, I'll see how much I can
remove to still work.  Changing the default uds_address broke pmc.
That was easy to remove from the conf file.
