Public bug reported:

Hi,

when I try to use my NMEA-compatible GPS-Receiver with the ntp-server
shipped with Ubuntu Dapper, I get the error message, that clock type 20
is not supported. I have something like this in my ntp.conf:

server 127.127.20.0

This should poll the /dev/gps0 device with 4800 bit/s 8N1. Interesting
enough, clock type 20 is explained in depth in the ntp manual in the
ntp-doc package. When I use the same ntp.conf with a  self-compiled
version of ntp, it works. It seems that the package manager deliberately
removed the support for this clock type. Any reason why?

Shouldn't this clock type be enabled?

Thanks!

Marc
