Description Christian Schmidt 2006-12-04 09:46:12 UTC 
The devicename for parseclocks connected on serial ports is hardwired to /dev/refclock-X in the ntp daemon. The attached udev rule automatically adds /dev/refclock-X symlinks to all /dev/ttySX devices.

it's up to the user to discover what serial device a valid refclock is connected to ... there is no safe way to do that
