I'd like to run ntpd on 3.0/sparc to keep time in sync.
Using the stock /etc/ntp.conf, ntpd comes up and 'ntpq -c peers' shows 
something useful, but after a few minutes, ntpd starts burning CPU time, 
and ktrace says:

   5771 ntpd     clock_settime(0, 0xefffdbc0)       Err#1 EPERM
   5771 ntpd     geteuid()                          = 0, -1
   5771 ntpd     clock_settime(0, 0xefffdbc0)       Err#1 EPERM
   5771 ntpd     geteuid()                          = 0, -1
   ...

infinitely. Accoring to the init(8) manpage, securelevel 2 restricts the 
settimeofday(2) call only.

FWIW, the kernel does have options NTP and pseudo-device clockctl, and 
/dev/clockctl does exist.

Is there anything obvious I'm missing?
