[time-nuts] FreeBSD with Garmin GPS 18 LVC

[Keith E. Brandt, M.D.]

I'm trying to set up a server on a FreeBSD 6.2 system with the Garmin 
GPS 18 LVC as the PPS source.

The system works fine using pool servers (PPS not enabled), but as 
soon as I try to use the PPS signal, it acts as if ntpd is not 
running (I get a "localhost: timed out, nothing received" error on 
ntpq queries).

I'm seeing good data from the GPS using minicom to look at the data 
stream and I have 4 - 6 satellites locked.

My ntp.conf file contains:

driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
server 0.us.pool.ntp.org   iburst
server 1.us.pool.ntp.org   iburst
server 2.us.pool.ntp.org   iburst
#
server 127.127.20.1  mode 1   prefer
fudge 127.127.20.1 time1 0.000   flag3 1 refid PPS


Suggestions?

Goodbye cruel world that was my home-
   there's cleaner space out here to roam
Put my feet up on the moons of Mars-
   sit back, relax, and count the stars
