ntpfrob has a "-s" mode, to work around "an old AIX bug".
The documentation says: If the problem is fixed, this program will print the time, sit there for 10 seconds, and exit. If the problem isn't fixed, the program will print an occasional "result=nnnnnn" (the residual slew from adjtime()). I ran this on an old i386 box. model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz root@ntpmon:~# uname -a Linux ntpmon 4.3.0-1-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.3.3-7 (2016-01-19) i686 GNU/Linux root@ntpmon:~# ntpfrob -s Starting: Fri Feb 26 20:15:37 2016 result = 0. -1500 result = 0. -1500 result = 0. -1500 result = 0. -1500 result = 0. -1500 result = 0. -1500 result = 0. -1500 result = 0. -1500 result = 0. -1500 root@ntpmon:~# (note that there are no \n in the output) Can someone help interpret the results? Is my Linux 4.3 infected with a pre-1992 AIX bug? -- Sanjeev Gupta +65 98551208 http://www.linkedin.com/in/ghane
