      1 Notes on CPU clock oscillator tolerance with SunOS 4.1.1 and 4.1.3
      2 
      3 A bug in SunOS 4.1.1 results in the kernel time losing 1 microsecond
      4 per tick of the system clock. The bug was fixed (bugid 1094383) for
      5 SunOS 4.1.1 and corrected in SunOS 4.1.3. The easiest way to fix this
      6 is to replace the 4.1.1 binary clock.o with the corresponding 4.1.3
      7 binary. Without this change it is necessary to use the tickadj program
      8 included in this distribution with the -t 9999 option.
      9 
     10 The tickadj option will work in all cases except when the kernel has
     11 been modified to correct the CPU clock oscillator frequency using a
     12 1-pps signal from a precision source. The bugfix must be installed for
     13 this wrinkle to work properly.
