Re: NetBSD under VM - ntpd doesn't do the job

[Donald Lee <MacPPC2%c.icompute.com@localhost>]

Cool. I don't know anything about this. What choices do I have
here?

The man page "man 7 sysctl" doesn't help much, but the TSC on a VM
would clearly be a poor way to tell time.

Is there a better option (and is it supported and working?)

I just installed an ntpdate kludge tonight.

Thanks for your help,
