Richard, according the manpage of xntpd:
pll enable Enables the server to adjust its
local clock. If not set,
the
local clock free-runs at
its
intrinsic time and
frequency
offset. This flag is useful
in
case the local clock is
con-
trolled by some other device
or
protocol and NTP is used only
to
provide synchronization to
other
clients.
...so disabling pll in the configuration of xntpd I would expect xntpd
no longer tries to set the time on the local system. Maybe I
misunderstand this option????
