/*
 * This is a hack to allow a machine to use its own system clock as a
 * reference clock, i.e., to free-run using no outside clock discipline
 * source. This is useful if you want to use NTP in an isolated
 * environment with no radio clock or NIST modem available. Pick a
 * machine that you figure has a good clock oscillator and configure it
 * with this driver. Set the clock using the best means available, like
 * eyeball-and-wristwatch. Then, point all the other machines at this
 * one or use broadcast (not multicast) mode to distribute time.
 *
 * Another application for this driver is if you want to use a
 * particular server's clock as the clock of last resort when all other
 * normal synchronization sources have gone away. This is especially
 * useful if that server has an ovenized oscillator. For this you would
 * configure this driver at a higher stratum (say 5) to prevent the
 * server's stratum from falling below that.
 *
 * A third application for this driver is when an external discipline
 * source is available, such as the NIST "lockclock" program, which
 * synchronizes the local clock via a telephone modem and the NIST
 * Automated Computer Time Service (ACTS), or the Digital Time
 * Synchronization Service (DTSS), which runs on DCE machines. In this
 * case the stratum should be set at zero, indicating a bona fide
 * stratum-1 source. Exercise some caution with this, since there is no
 * easy way to telegraph via NTP that something might be wrong in the
 * discipline source itself. In the case of DTSS, the local clock can
 * have a rather large jitter, depending on the interval between
 * corrections and the intrinsic frequency error of the clock
 * oscillator. In extreme cases, this can cause clients to exceed the
 * 128-ms slew window and drop off the NTP subnet.
 *
 * THis driver includes provisions to telegraph synchronization state
 * and related variables by means of kernel variables with specially
 * modified kernels. This is done using the ntp_adjtime() syscall.
 * In the cases where another protocol or device synchronizes the local
 * host, the data given to the kernel can be slurped up by this driver
 * and distributed to clients by ordinary NTP messaging.
 *
 * In the default mode the behavior of the clock selection algorithm is
 * modified when this driver is in use. The algorithm is designed so
 * that this driver will never be selected unless no other discipline
 * source is available. This can be overriden with the prefer keyword of
 * the server configuration command, in which case only this driver will
 * be selected for synchronization and all other discipline sources will
 * be ignored. This behavior is intended for use when an external
 * discipline source controls the system clock.
 *
 * Fudge Factors
 *
 * The stratum for this driver set at 5 by default, but it can be
 * changed by the fudge command and/or the ntpdc utility. The reference
 * ID is 127.0.0.1 by default, but can be changed using the same mechanism.
 * *NEVER* configure this driver to operate at a stratum which might
 * possibly disrupt a client with access to a bona fide primary server,
 * unless the local clock oscillator is reliably disciplined by another
 * source. *NEVER NEVER* configure a server which might devolve to an
 * undisciplined local clock to use multicast mode. Always remember that
 * an improperly configured local clock driver let loose in the Internet
 * can cause very serious disruption. This is why most of us who care
 * about good time use cryptographic authentication.
 *
 * This driver provides a mechanism to trim the local clock in both time
 * and frequency, as well as a way to manipulate the leap bits. The
 * fudge time1 parameter adjusts the time, in seconds, and the fudge
 * time2 parameter adjusts the frequency, in ppm. The fudge time1
 * parameter is additive; that is, it adds an increment to the current
 * time. The fudge time2 parameter directly sets the frequency.
