	I've managed to get NTP running under IRIX 3.3.1/2, and it
works, but not well.  The problem has to do with whatever the IRIX
equivalent of BSD's ``tickadj'' variable is - the quantum is set far
too large, and NTP has a hard time getting the kernel zeroed in on the
correct value to adjtime(2).
	Can anyone out there suggest what is the correct kernel
variable to tweak, and what a reasonable value(s) might be for a 380
and a personal?
	(BTW: looking in /usr/sysgen, it appears that the ``fastclock''
is off, but without adb, who can tell?!?)
