1.1     ! misho       1: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        !             2: The adjtimed daemon emulates the BSD adjtime(2) system call.  The
        !             3: adjtime() routine communicates with this daemon via SYSV messages.
        !             4: 
        !             5: The emulation uses an undocumented kernel variable (as of 6.0/2.0
        !             6: and later releases) and as such it cannot be guaranteed to work in
        !             7: future HP-UX releases.  Perhaps HP-UX will have a real adjtime(2)
        !             8: system call in the future.

        !            13: IMPORTANT NOTE: This stuff must be compiled with no optimization !!
        !            14: 
        !            15: NOTE: This code is known to work as of 8.0 on s300's, s700's and s800's.
        !            16:       PLEASE do not modify it unless you have access to kernel sources
        !            17:       and fully understand the implications of any changes you are making.
        !            18:       One person already has trashed adjtimed by making it do "the right 
        !            19:       thing".  This is not an exact replacement for BSD adjtime(2), don't
        !            20:       try to make it into one.
