- Yes, if you use the 'old' signal interface, that is what is required.
- Use the bsd or posix signals if you want the other syntax (or even
- the sys5 sigset signals). See man signal sigset for more details.

- I believe Scott Henry has posted ntp and xntp patches to this and
- other groups in the past, so try the archives. Some groups inside
- SGI use ntp for time keeping, rather than timed.
