The system is a standard Dell system with full 6.1 installation from the CDs.
>Description:
The system calls ntp_gettime() and ntp_adjtime() return incorrect values. This problem is new to 6.1 -- the same subroutines called from the identical user program worked correctly in 5.1, the previous version that I was using.

I reported this problem directly to poul-henning kamp some time ago, but I have not had a reply.

I am prepared to try and fix the problem myself, but I think the problem is in ntp_gettime(), which I think is in libc. I have all of the CDs but I can't find the source code for libc. Can you tell me where this code is located? 
>How-To-Repeat:
A call to ntp_gettime will return the status of the call rather than the status of the clock, which is how it is supposed to work. the return status is -1 with an errno of 55.
