Given a few time measurements from a reliable +source, it computes and then eliminates the clock skew. + +sntpclock checks another system's NTP clock, and prints the results in a +format suitable for input to clockspeed. sntpclock is the simplest +available NTP/SNTP client. + +taiclock and taiclockd form an even simpler alternative to SNTP. They +are suitable for precise time synchronization over a local area network, +without the hassles and potential security problems of an NTP server. + +This version of clockspeed can use the Pentium RDTSC tick counter or the +Solaris gethrtime() nanosecond counter. + +WWW: http://cr.yp.to/clockspeed.html |
