Re: clockspeed problem under FreeBSD 4.0

Never mind.  I'm sorry for the bandwidth.  As soon as I posted this
query, I discovered my problem: I had accidentally run the following
command before running clockspeed for the first time:

  sntpclock w.x.y.z > /usr/local/clockspeed/adjust &

This caused 'adjust' to be a plain file instead of a fifo, and this was
the cause of my problem.  After deleting 'adjust' and restarting
clockspeed, all is well.
