Did i miss something?

Hmm, this could mean that floss_adjtime() is not working properly?
Gets called in ntp-4.2.0/libntp/systime.c and
ntp-4.2.0/ntpdate/ntpdate.c floss_adjtime() uses SETSYSTEMCLOCK(),
it insists on the 2nd arg to be NULL and the 1st to be non-NULL.

Or the getitimer() replament in ntp-4.2.0/ntpd/ntp_timer.c and
ntp-4.2.0/ntpdate/ntpdate.c

Maybe this helps in debugging it?

Meanwhile ntp has started correcting the time, maybe I had to be
more

Ah good, phew...

patient. But it seems the the clock corrections, 1 each second, are
very very small, so I see masses of "system time adjusted".

Initially, after coldload, you'd ned to set the time correctly using
ntpdate, then use nptd to keep it current

Just one thing that might be interesting: The config-file ntp.conf
should not be in /etc but in /usr/local/etc.

Hmm, as per the README_FLOSS and the source
ntp-4.2.0/include/ntp_config.h it should be in /usr/local/etc:
...
#ifndef CONFIG_FILE
# ifndef SYS_WINNT
#ifdef __TANDEM
# define CONFIG_FILE "/usr/local/etc/ntp.conf"
#else
# define CONFIG_FILE "/etc/ntp.conf"
#endif
# else /* SYS_WINNT */
# define CONFIG_FILE "%windir%\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\ntp.conf"
# define ALT_CONFIG_FILE "%windir%\\ntp.conf"
...

Are you saying it doesn't work that way?

ntpd works fine but the corrections are somewhat "homeopathic" with
very small doses.
Using ntpdate -b returns an error, either "bind() fails: Connection
reset by remote host" or "Memory fault".
Concerning the configfile: If you are looking for information in the
net, most people are referring to a configfile /etc/ntp.conf.

I am still working on the ntpdate thing.- Zitierten Text ausblenden -

ntpd is running but it is flooding EMSLOG with "system time adjusted"
messages even having only a difference of 0.015 seconds to the ntp
server.

Is that what using SETSYSTEMCLOCK() gives us?

Yes, that is what I think. The problem is that it needs days to
correct 1 second.
