Normally,
|
|
ntpd
|
|
exits with a message to the system log if the offset exceeds the panic threshold, which is 1000 s by default. This option allows the time to be set to any value without restriction; however, this can happen only once. If the threshold is exceeded after that,
|
|
ntpd
|
|
will exit with a message to the system log. This option can be used with the
|
|
-q
|
|
and
|

Jail directory.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Chroot the server to the directory
|
|
jaildir
|
|
.
|
|
This option also implies that the server attempts to drop root privileges at startup (otherwise, chroot gives very little additional security), and it is only available if the OS supports to run the server without full root privileges.
|
|
You may need to also specify a
|
|
-u
|
|
option.
|

program, which is to be retired.
|
|
The
|
|

options can be used with this option.

|
|
This option takes an integer number as its argument.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Give the time in seconds between two scans for new or dropped interfaces.
|
|
For systems with routing socket support the scans will be performed shortly after the interface change
|
|
has been detected by the system.

|
|
configuration file directive.
|
|
.TP

|
.BR \-S " \fIstring\fP, " \--endsimtime "=" \fIstring\fP

|
|
.BR \-u " \fIstring\fP, " \--user "=" \fIstring\fP
|
|
Run as userid (or userid:groupid).
|
|
.sp
|
|
Specify a user, and optionally a group, to switch to.
|
|
This option is only available if the OS supports to run the server without full root privileges.
|
|
Currently, this option is supported under NetBSD (configure with
|
|
--enable-clockctl
|
|
) and Linux (configure with
|
|
--enable-linuxcaps
|
|
).
|
|
.TP

|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-x ", " \--slew
|
|
Slew up to 600 seconds.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Normally, the time is slewed if the offset is less than the step threshold, which is 128 ms by default, and stepped if above the threshold.
|
|
This option sets the threshold to 600 s, which is well within the accuracy window to set the clock manually.
|
|
Note: Since the slew rate of typical Unix kernels is limited to 0.5 ms/s, each second of adjustment requires an amortization interval of 2000 s.
|
|
Thus, an adjustment as much as 600 s will take almost 14 days to complete.
|
|
This option can be used with the
|
|
-g
|
|
and
|
|
-q
|
|
options.
|
|
See the
|
|
tinker
|
|
configuration file directive for other options.
|
|
Note: The kernel time discipline is disabled with this option.

.TP
|
|
.BR \-> " [\fIrcfile\fP]," " \--save-opts" "[=\fIrcfile\fP]"
|

|
|
configuration file listed in the \fBOPTION PRESETS\fP section, below.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-< " \fIrcfile\fP," " \--load-opts" "=\fIrcfile\fP," " \--no-load-opts"
|
|
Load options from \fIrcfile\fP.
|
|
The \fIno-load-opts\fP form will disable the loading
|
|
of earlier RC/INI files. \fI--no-load-opts\fP is handled early,
|
|
out of order.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR \-v " [{\fIv|c|n\fP}]," " \--version" "[=\fI{v|c|n}\fP]"
|
|
Output version of program and exit. The default mode is `v', a simple
|
|
version. The `c' mode will print copyright information and `n' will
|
|
print the full copyright notice.
|
|
.SH OPTION PRESETS
|
|
Any option that is not marked as \fInot presettable\fP may be preset
|
|
by loading values from configuration ("RC" or ".INI") file(s) and values from
|
|
environment variables named:
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBNTPDSIM_<option-name>\fP or \fBNTPDSIM\fP
|
|
.fi
|
|
.aj
|
|
The environmental presets take precedence (are processed later than)
|
|
the configuration files.
|
|
The \fIhomerc\fP files are "\fI$HOME\fP", and "\fI.\fP".
|
|
If any of these are directories, then the file \fI.ntprc\fP
|
|
is searched for within those directories.
