> server 127.127.28.0 minpoll 4 maxpoll 4

Speaking of gpsd and ntpd...

That minpoll/maxpoll stuff is trying to work around a bug/oversight in ntpd.

The current code grabs one sample per polling interval.  The right way is to 
grab a sample every second and filter/average them over a polling interval.  
ntpd had code to do all the hard work.  I've got a patch for the shared 
memory refclock driver that takes advantage of that.  Results are here:

A long time ago, I asked on comp.protocols.time.ntp but nobody responded.

Is anybody here willing to help test it?  If so, please contact me off-list.
