I don't think I have ntp running:

sudo /etc/init.d/ntp stop
sudo: /etc/init.d/ntp: command not found

sudo service ntp stop
ntp: unrecognized service

that's what I found online about stopping ntp at least; is there some other
command I'm supposed to run?

I'm actually using HW timestamping and can't find anything on the internet
about this problem...

Thanks,
Andrei
