Hi all,

While reading thru the instructions on how to use clockspeed, it mentions
that my clock should show the before and after numbers to be pretty close
after doing a "sntpclock" piped thru "clockadd".

What I notice is that the last 12 digits are always zero's, as such:

$ sntpclock 1.2.3.4 | clockview
before: 2003-01-13 12:10:16.152863000000000000
after:  2003-01-13 12:10:29.487858499824590980

Can anyone tell me if this is normal, or if something is amiss.

I'm running the 2.4.18 kernel in linux, with an Athlon.

Any more details are available upon request.

Thanks,
Ethan
