Re[2]: NTP with only GPS/PPS flags PPS as falseticker

Yes, the lab results look good, but ntpd blacklisting my GPS, even if 
it's not all the time, is bad. If I could eliminate the blacklisting, 
I'd consider releasing the system my customer.

When I read my own postings from the list, the output isn't munged. Of 
course I'm reading it with the same email client (eM Client) that I used 
to compose it in the first place. It is not without its quirks, but 
you'd think by now there would be some agreement on how to format email.

I'll insert a mini-rant here about write-only settings. It would be much 
nicer just to query the current configuration, rather than trying to 
infer it by resorting to black-box testing.
But I did try it, and ntpd's behavior didn't change - it mostly dislikes 
my GPS, but occasionally agrees that it's not all that bad once you get 
to know it. The latter, but the way, would never happen if minsane were 
greater than 1.

Thanks,
