I have questionable ntp foo, & searching through the misc@ archives along with reading the FAQ has only gotten me so far. I have a Garmin 18 GPS:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000196BW6/104-8542380-5084714 ...which is connected to the serial port of a Sun Ultra 10. I am unable to determine whether I'm stylin' or out in the weeds when it comes to configuring ntp via GPS: # nmeaattach cua00 # ntpd -ds & [1] 30616 # ntp engine ready sensor nmea0 added ...which appears fine as does ps' output: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND ... root 16741 0.0 0.0 320 80 ??

However, searching for the associated sensor didn't generate any warm & fuzzies: # sysctl hw hw.machine=sparc64 hw.model=SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi @ 440 MHz, version 0 FPU hw.ncpu=1 hw.byteorder=4321 hw.physmem=536870912 hw.usermem=536403968 hw.pagesize=8192 hw.disknames=wd0,cd0 hw.diskcount=2 hw.vendor=Sun hw.product=Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI # ...and the only message emitted to stdout/stderr is: # no reply received in time, skipping initial time setting Looking at /var/log/daemon only shows: Apr 10 22:36:42 shockley ntpd[21535]: ntp engine ready Apr 10 22:36:43 shockley savecore: no core dump Can anyone help educate an ntp neophyte? Thanks.
