# Undisciplined Local Clock. This is a fake driver intended for backup

# is never used for synchronization, unless no other other

# controlled by some external source, such as an external oscillator or
# another protocol, the prefer keyword would cause the local host to
# disregard all other synchronization sources, unless the kernel
# modifications are in use and declare an unsynchronized condition.
