|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
@node ntpdsim panicgate
|
|
@subsection panicgate option (-g)
|
|
@cindex ntpdsim-panicgate
|
|
|
|
This is the ``allow the first adjustment to be big'' option.
|
|
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
|
|

|
|
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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
The
|
|
-g
|
|
and
|
|
-x
|
|
options can be used with this option.
|
|
Note: The kernel time discipline is disabled with this option.
|
|
|
|
@node ntpdsim propagationdelay

|
|
@cindex ntpdsim-propagationdelay
|
|
|
|
This is the ``broadcast/propagation delay'' option.
|

|
has been detected by the system.
|
|
Use 0 to disable scanning.
|
|
|
|
@node ntpdsim statsdir
|
|
@subsection statsdir option (-s)

|
@cindex ntpdsim-statsdir
|
|
|
|
This is the ``statistics file location'' option.
|
|
Specify the directory path for files created by the statistics facility.
|
|

|
|
statsdir statsdir
|
|
configuration file directive.

|
|
@subsection endsimtime option (-S)

|
@item
|
|
may appear an unlimited number of times.
|
|
@end itemize
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

@node ntpdsim walknoise
|
|
@subsection walknoise option (-W)
|
|
@cindex ntpdsim-walknoise
|
|
|
|
This is the ``simulation random walk noise'' option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@node ntpdsim user
|
|
@subsection user option (-u)
|
|
@cindex ntpdsim-user
|
|
|
|
This is the ``run as userid (or userid:groupid)'' option.
|
|
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
|
|
).
|
|
|
|
@node ntpdsim var
|
|
@subsection var option (-v)
|
|
@cindex ntpdsim-var
|
|
|
|
This is the ``make arg an ntp variable (rw)'' option.
|
|
|
|
This option has some usage constraints. It:
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|

@item
|

@node ntpdsim dvar
|

@subsection dvar option (-V)
|
|
@cindex ntpdsim-dvar
|
|
|
|
This is the ``make arg an ntp variable (rw|def)'' option.

@node ntpdsim slew
|
|
@subsection slew option (-x)
|
|
@cindex ntpdsim-slew
|
|
|
|
This is the ``slew up to 600 seconds'' option.
|
|
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.
