We recently installed SunOS 4.1.1. After doing so, xntp's
compliance number (reported by the "lo" command in xntpdc)
has gone up by an order of magnitude. It now stays at about
0.001 or so. It used to sit at about 0.0002 or so.

We also get "previous adjustment did not complete" messages
in syslog.

Before you mention it, yes I did run tickadj and put the resultant
value in /vmunix. I also cleared dosynctodr.

The hardware is a relatively heavily loaded Sun 3/160 with 12 MB of
RAM and a pair of ALM-Is. At its worst, there are 10 or 12 users
at a time, but there are lengthy periods when the system is completely
idle. I would think those periods would have good compliance.

We peer to a pair of stratum 1s on the internet, and we have
a "stratum ceiling" driver for when the net goes down. :-/
