If you use the refclock_arc.c driver (127.127.27.*) please reply to me and mention which receiver and radio station you use. The driver supports MSF, DCF, and WWVB.
I'm asking because five years ago, a bug report was filed indicating the driver was dependent on the system's time zone, when it should be independent of it. The driver maintainer provided a patch, and the reporter of the bug said it cured his problem. Then, unfortunately, the bug was dropped on the floor and the fix never integrated into the distributed ntpd sources. Details at: http://bugs.ntp.org/402 Harlan and I are embarrassed by the oversight and would like to resolve it, but also aware the proposed fix is not backwards-compatible and risks breaking currently-functioning setups. Additionally, we are both leery of making changes to a reference clock driver without adequate testing. I would like to see the change tested against several radio stations and with the system timezone set to UTC and local time.
