- Novice Question: regarding how to edit the Config file for Xntp3.
-
- The Config file says this about -DREFCLOCK
-
- # The flag -DREFCLOCK causes the basic reference clock support to be
- # compiled into the daemon. ...
-
- Am I correct then in assuming that this flag should only be set if you
- have an actual radio clock hooked up to your machine? (I'm curious,
- because in the default config file, this flag *is* set, and I would think
- that most sites do *not* have a radio clock, so I'm puzzled as to why it
- would be set by default)
-
- Please email, I'll summarize to the net.
- Thanks!
