- I have a related question. About every other month, a problem
- at Yale Computer Center causes the campus timeserver to
- jump around wildly. The usual result is a bunch of
- "time changed..." messages in my SYSLOG until eventually
- cron begins to complain.
-
- Is there a way of telling timeslave to perform a sanity check and
- not follow such chaos? Maybe it could make *small* corrections
- but ignore corrections larger than some limit except for noting
- them in SYSLOG?
