- update to 4.2.6p2
* Major code clean up.
1. The protostats statistics files have been very useful in exposing
little twitches and turns when something hiccups, like a broken PPS
signal. Most of what used to be syslog messages are now repackaged as
protostats messages with optional syslog as well.
2. Close inspection of the clock discipline behavior at long poll
intervals (36 h) showed it not doing as well as it should.
3. Autokey. The enhanced error checking was becoming a major pain. A way was found
to toss out gobs of ugly fat code and replace the function with a much simpler
and more comprehensive scheme.
4. The interface code for the kernel PPS signal was not in sync with the
kernel code itself. Some error checks were duplicated and some ineffective.
5. The flake restrict bit turned out to be really interesting, especially
with symmtric modes and of those especially those using Autokey.
* Documentation updates
- New old feature: sync time on startup. If not needed NTPD_FORCE_SYNC_ON_STARTUP must
be set to no in /etc/sysconfig/ntp
