ATTENTIONATTENTION: Please make sure that you read %%PREFIX%%/share/doc/clockspeed/INSTALL. It contains important information about testing and configuring clockspeed, and finally installing it in your system. Clockspeed uses the libtai library, check /usr/ports/devel/libtai for more details. TAI time measure is off 22 seconds from UTC time measure. Therefore, your system time will show a 22 secs difference from your time source after you've installed this port. To fix this, you could follow this simple recipe created with PR ports/27617. 1) killall clockspeed (you can't have it running) 2) sntpclock IP.OF.NTP.SERVER | clockadd 3) enable/start clockspeed : % cp %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/clockspeed.sh.sample \ %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/clockspeed.sh # enable clockspeed to automagically start next # time you reboot. do this after testing everything % %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/clockspeed.sh start # start clockspeed now 4) sntpclock IP.OF.NTP.SERVER > %%PREFIX%%/etc/clockspeed/adjust 5) cd /usr/src/share/zoneinfo 6) make -DLEAPSECONDS clean all install ; make clean Step 5 and 6 build support in your system for leapseconds handling. Take a note about this since you might forget later to disable it if you remove this port. To disable it, simply re-do step 6 without -DLEAPSECONDS. Step 6 should not break anything but you can disable it anytime as per last paragraph if you think something unusual has happened to your system. 7) /stand/sysinstall -> configure -> time zone (choose the correct time zone for your system) 8) sntpclock IP.OF.NTP.SERVER | clockview Check how close is your clock before and after now. Should be within milliseconds. Do not forget to add a cron(8) job with step 4 to periodically adjust clockspeed's drift rate. Once a week should be more than adequate. A port to non-i386 platforms was done using the clock_gettime(2) function. Since this is somewhat experimental, there might be some tiny precision differences from the i386 platform versions. You have been warned!
