Settimeofday() isn't about updating the RTC. It updates the system clock. Why would ntpd call that regularly and cause unnecessary jumps in system time? Calling settimeofday() also clears all NTP state variables inside the kernel and sets the UNSYNC bit. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
