I have some patches to make ntpd run under IRIX. I hacked up ntpd on our iri to accept the "tickadj" var, multiply by 1000 and use it to set timetrim via the syssgi() function and SGI_SETTIMETRIM (there is also a SGI_GETTIMETRIM). Tickadj is in uS/S, timetrim is in nS/S. I've been using a value of about -400000 nS/S (so tickadj = -400) for our 4D/20's and a 25: the logical clock stays synced with that. timetrim is a signed long. Check babar.mmwb.ucsf.edu [128.218.21.42] in ~ftp/pub/ntpd.patch for the patch and the Makefile. - Scott Presnell (srp@cgl.ucsf.edu) -- Scott Presnell +1 (415) 476-9890 Pharm.
