      1  1.1.1.1.28.2  msaitoh Notes on CPU clock oscillator tolerance with SunOS 4.1.1 and 4.1.3
      2  1.1.1.1.28.2  msaitoh 
      3  1.1.1.1.28.2  msaitoh A bug in SunOS 4.1.1 results in the kernel time losing 1 microsecond
      4  1.1.1.1.28.2  msaitoh per tick of the system clock. The bug was fixed (bugid 1094383) for
      5  1.1.1.1.28.2  msaitoh SunOS 4.1.1 and corrected in SunOS 4.1.3. The easiest way to fix this
      6  1.1.1.1.28.2  msaitoh is to replace the 4.1.1 binary clock.o with the corresponding 4.1.3
      7  1.1.1.1.28.2  msaitoh binary. Without this change it is necessary to use the tickadj program
      8  1.1.1.1.28.2  msaitoh included in this distribution with the -t 9999 option.

     10  1.1.1.1.28.2  msaitoh The tickadj option will work in all cases except when the kernel has
     11  1.1.1.1.28.2  msaitoh been modified to correct the CPU clock oscillator frequency using a
     12  1.1.1.1.28.2  msaitoh 1-pps signal from a precision source. The bugfix must be installed for
     13  1.1.1.1.28.2  msaitoh this wrinkle to work properly.
