Description Derek Tattersall 2000-02-01 14:07:21 UTC 
When using ntpdate to set the time/date on an Alpha, ntpdate gives the
message Can't adjust the time of day: Invalid argument when it finds a time
server.  JBJ intimates that this may be due to a missing patch in the
kernel.
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2000-02-01 18:19:59 UTC 
(Note: the patch I was remembering is the 500/HZ setting limit of 0 because
HZ is different on alpha).

The adjtime syscall is returning EINVAL. Off to glibc for further investigation
since
	nm ntpdate | grep adjtime
                 U adjtime@@GLIBC_2.1

It works for me on this Alpha here, with the xntp3 package from 6.1.
