Oops.  Sorry!  I thought everyone reading this list
(who could answer my question :-) would know.

David Woolley gave you a good answer already so
I'll only add that if you want to "see" if you
are in "11 minute mode", do "adjtimex -p" and
look at the "status:" value. If it's odd, (LSB==1)
then your kernel is in "11 minute mode".

Now, if someone would tell me how to disable it
(short of hacking time.c) I'd be most thankful.

I tried turning it off with adjtimex -S 64) but
ntp changes it back again in a few minutes.

I'd like to disable it, but keep ntp kernel
discipline so I can do some analysis of my RTC.

Dean
