Yes, that does it. Another nice fix would be to have an option to set the
stratum when an RTC is used.
At the moment it it is set to 0 (unsynchronized) which is quite understandable,
unless you have a different local mechanism to set the RTC, so that it is
actually trustworthy.
This is the case for my network, where I use a Rugby receiver to get the
time. I have added the following:
case 'S':
a = ARGF();
if(a == nil)
sysfatal("bad stratum specified");
stratum = strtoll(a, 0, 0);
break;
The details of the Rugby receiver code are in http://www.9fs.org/dist/arc.
So I run
aux/timesync -s /net -r -S1 on the cpu server
use the ipsntp stuff on the fileserver, and
aux/timesync -n on the terminals. aux/timesync -f would be fine too,
which CHF's fix.
Yes, I know this is less accurate that using an Internet time server, but it's
more fun.

i suspect timesync needs to use amount.
try changing /sys/src/cmd/aux/timesync.c:270
if(amount(fd, "/n/boot", MREPL, "") < 0)

My old arrangement of synchronising the fileserver (with sntp) and then
setting the clock of the terminals from the fileserver root seems not to work
any more.
term% aux/timesync -f
term% aux/timesync: mounting /srv/boot: attach -- unknown user or failed authentication
The file server prints something including the words SUCK EGGS.
Anyone care to enlighten me?
