adjtimex w/ 2.2.5



Hi all --

My apologies if this has been here before, but apparently searching
the archives is no longer an option :-(

I have an AS200 that runs about 130 seconds fast over 24 hours.
When I try running adjtimex --print, it returns all zeros and a
rc=5.  Using it to drop the tick value appears to do nothing.
The version I have (1.3) looks to be current.  Worst case, I
could run ntpdate twice, separated by a reasonably precise interval,
and scale the constant in timex.h (and then a kernel build),
but I was trying to avoid that.  I have a Multia running 2.2.0-pre3
that exhibits the same time error.   I'm a dialup, so xntpd is not
an option.  

The CLOCK_TICK_RATE is defined as 1193180 in both alpha and x86 versions
of the ...include/asm*/timex.h (and apparently others).

Sooooo:
1.  Is adjtimex broken for 2.2.x?
2.  Is the constant in the header file slightly off?
3.  Has anyone else run into this?

TIA,
-ls-
