[time-nuts] Setting PPS on the OpenBSD kernel

[Matthew Smith]

Hi Folks

I have finally got a machine ready to be my time server.  I have OpenBSD 
4.2 installed and am trying to fathom out how to configure it to use PPS.

I've been looking at this page:

<http://www.david-taylor.myby.co.uk/ntp/FreeBSD-GPS-PPS.htm>

...which actually deals with FreeBSD - don't know if the process is similar.

I've installed the kernel source and have created a PPS file in the 
config directory:

include GENERIC
ident PPS-GENERIC
option PPS_SYNC

(Looking at GENERIC, it seems that OpenBSD uses 'config' rather than 
'configs' - is this correct?)

So then I just build and install the kernel and I'm ready to go?

I've only built Linux kernels before - this is all rather new to me.

Cheers

M
