I have finally gotten ntp running but have the following problem on a
Sparcstation that only uses its own clock as a reference, ie. has a ntp.conf
effectively of only

"driftfile /etc/ntp.drift

server 127.127.1.4
fudge 127.127.1.4 time1 1.0"


I am getting error messages of "Previous time adjustment didn't complete"
sometimes as often as more than once a minute.

What did I do wrong?

Incidentally the version of xntpd that I got from louie.udel.edu about six
weeks ago seems to have an incomplete Makefile.  About half the modules that
should have been built using CLOCKDEFS (ntp_config.c, notd.c, etc.) did not
have the special make lines  so that they would reference the definitions
properly. (This turned out to be the reason that I could not run the local
pseudoclock- the code wasn't getting compiled in!).
