Annotation of embedaddon/ntp/html/hints/sun4, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       misho       1: Notes on CPU clock oscillator tolerance with SunOS 4.1.1 and 4.1.3
                      2: 
                      3: A bug in SunOS 4.1.1 results in the kernel time losing 1 microsecond
                      4: per tick of the system clock. The bug was fixed (bugid 1094383) for
                      5: SunOS 4.1.1 and corrected in SunOS 4.1.3. The easiest way to fix this
                      6: is to replace the 4.1.1 binary clock.o with the corresponding 4.1.3
                      7: binary. Without this change it is necessary to use the tickadj program
                      8: included in this distribution with the -t 9999 option.
                      9: 
                     10: The tickadj option will work in all cases except when the kernel has
                     11: been modified to correct the CPU clock oscillator frequency using a
                     12: 1-pps signal from a precision source. The bugfix must be installed for
                     13: this wrinkle to work properly.
