>Description:
Some time ago a pseudo device to let non-root users manipulate the system
clock has been added to let ntpd run without super-user privileges. MAKEDEV
already creates the device node, ntpd and its startup skript have been
changed to let users make use of this but the necessary pseudo-device is
missing in GENERIC config files.
>How-To-Repeat:
grep clockctl /sys/arch/*/conf/GENERIC
>Fix:
add
pseudo-device clockctl # something
to GENERIC kernel config files
