Description Johan Hattne 2009-12-17 23:12:30 UTC

This patch, originally provided by upstream developers, enables openntpd to adjust the frequency of the clock.  On systems where the frequency is off, an unpatched openntpd will have to repeatedly adjust the time by similar amounts.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 3 Milan Holzäpfel 2011-01-11 01:21:21 UTC

I tested this patch on amd64 (hardened profile) and openntpd works with the patch applied. 

This would be a great addition to openntpd.
