Annotation of embedaddon/ntp/adjtimed/README, revision 1.1.1.1

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.
