Hi
I have some remarks about adjtimex usability. I installed adjtimex
(1.23, Ubuntu hardy?) today because I wanted to smoothly adjust my
servers system time. It is out of sync about two hours, so ntp did not help.
I installed with apt-get and the package automatically configured the
system time comparing to the hardware time, which I did not want. I read
the man pages, the readme and searched the internet a while, but I did
not find information how to reset the changes. Killing adjtimexconfig
(Ctrl-C) seems to do the job - as far as I can figure out (from adjtimex
--print).
At last I removed the package as invoking adjtimex -s $((-2 * 60 * 60 *
1000)) only echoed "Segmentation fault.". I think the program lacks a
simple "restore to default" option.
Bye,
Falk Sticken
