- I'm trying to run the latest release of xntp v3 on an SGI Indigo running
- v4.0.1 of the OS. xntpd is having trouble keeping the clock in sync,
- generating lots of STEP adjustments in the syslog file. Since the
- SGI build uses -DNOKMEM, it's using the built-in values for tick and
- tickadj. I'm assuming these are wrong for the SGI Indigo and that
- is what is causing the problem. Does anyone have a good idea for
- tick and tickadj values for Indigos?
-
- It might be nice to have tick and tickadj settable via the Makefile,
- say maybe -DTICK=xx and -DTICKADJ=xx, so that building xntp forsystems
- that need -DNOKMEM would be easier. I noticed that there are special
- cases in the code for the RS6000. If someone can give me some good values
- for tick and tickadj for the SGI, I can work up the changes to the
- code to make -DTICK and -DTICKADJ work, with the current defaults if
- -DTICK and -DTICKADJ are not set.
