Re: gpsd and ntpsec error in ntp.conf

[Florian Kiera]

Heyo Massimiliano,

are you sure that the line 16 "refclock shm unit 1 minpoll4 maxpoll 4 refid PPS flag4 1 prefer" is correct? May its supposed to mean ""refclock shm unit 1 minpoll 4 maxpoll 4 refid PPS flag4 1 prefer" (a little mistake with a missing whitespace?). Sadly I dont have anything to test it with. Just some random guess as "refclock shm unit 0 time1 -0.0900 refid GPS flag4 1 noselect" etc dont have any issue with column 12 (last latter of the shm).

Regards
Florian

Dear all,

(gpsd: 3.21.1~dev (revision release-3.21-209-g3cbf9bf1a)

and 

ntpd ntpsec-1.1.9+ 2020-09-21T10:50:13Z (git rev 4f3fed2aa))

I recently noticed that I have this error when starting the ntpd service:
