The bug was fixed (bugid 1094383) for +SunOS 4.1.1 and corrected in SunOS 4.1.3. The easiest way to fix this +is to replace the 4.1.1 binary clock.o with the corresponding 4.1.3 +binary. Without this change it is necessary to use the tickadj program +included in this distribution with the -t 9999 option. + +The tickadj option will work in all cases except when the kernel has +been modified to correct the CPU clock oscillator frequency using a +1-pps signal from a precision source. The bugfix must be installed for +this wrinkle to work properly. + +Dave Mills (mills@udel.edu) |
