So I am not surprised that you do not have access to one. The other issue is that different refclocks have different configuration requirements. One example is that Oncore refclocks have a separate configuration file (typically /etc/ntp.oncore<.x>) where most refclocks are configured using the fudge settings in the main ntp configuration file. I now have ntp build for refclock support. So I have a system that is functioning. I would be willing to test development versions of YAST that have refclock related updates if that would be helpful. The two most commonly used refclocks right now are NMEA GPS reveivers like the Garmin 18LVC and the Motorola Oncore series. Used Oncore modules are cheap and widely available but it does require some fabrication to make one of these modules into a working reclock (power supply and RS232 interface need to be wired up) but the low cost and high accuracy make these popular. The other really popular refclock is the Garmin 18LVC which is a NMEA device. This also requires some fabrications but this is much simpler than what is needed for an Oncore module. If these two drivers were working in YAST most users would be good to go. So to make SuSE 11.1 refclock ready the following is needed: 1. A LinuxPPS patched version of the kernel. The ntp-pps-2.6.27-rc3-bis.diff patch from http://ftp.enneenne.com/pub/misc/linuxpps/patches/ has been used with the current SuSE 11.1 kernel source RPM and it applied and built without issues and the PPS support is working. 2. A ntp RPM with nano second support and refclock support. 3. YAST support for refclocks. Users can get by without #3 but they will have to hand configure ntp for the refclock. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you with this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
