Hi, I noticed clock insubordination after about two, well maybe half a minute with my first 4801,
On the linux kernel I had to use throw a kernel flag clock=pit to calm down the time on all 4801's ntpd still corrects drifts of about 1-2 seconds every hour or two, I personally don't like this as many things can happen in two seconds.
