Hi to all, at first i want to thank you everyone for the rapid reply and for labour supply. So I want give you some answers in order to make you understand well my configuration/actual scenario on my environment.

I have only downloaded the last version of ntp software and installed it. The shmpps is the only software that I'm using , so I don't know if changing only the "configure parameters" in the ntp installation it will change something. The shmpps driver seems work but it seems that ntp software ignores the existence of the SHM source.

If so, it's probably better than the NEMA driver > without kernel support. In my pc is not installed gpsd. I suppose it is a daemon ... If I have understood well, this daemon will suplly the requirement of a "kernel support", so it could be better for me instead of reconfigure and recompile the kernel.

Can you see in the "ntpq -p" output a line similar to : *SHM(0) .PPS. 0 l 13 16 377 0.000 -0.015 0.004 If no, what it mean for you "it works fine for me". If yes, whitch SW tools are installed on your pc? Is your environment similar to mine? MY ENVIRONMENT IS: PC LINUX with kernel 2.6.18 + ntp last version sw + shmpps SW In my previous mail you can find also my ntp.conf file content. Thanks to all community, Best Regards Elio Giugliano. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
