The ntpd daemon is running, currenty syncing with 'net based servers, and in turn serving up time locally. All that appears to be working OK.

Else, I'd probably be all done and dusted as far as PPS based time sync goes. It seems however, there may be an alternative way to enable PPS support, from another message in this thread. Then, I can get the GPS hardware connected, just using the 'net as fallback if the GPS system "burps". Heck, this time I might even add the server to the uk pool, if that doenst tip my hand with my ISP. Best Regards.
