Is that wise ? AFAIK it is because it needs access to /dev/rtc Can that not be solved in some other way ? The last thing we need is a remote break-in over TV signals ;-) Is there really no other way for precise timing but /dev/rtc ?

I will remove it in next rebuild. Perhaps adding "dev.rtc.max-user-freq = 1024" in /etc/sysctl.conf.
