Comment on OpenBSD's Theo de Raadt: 'ppm means “you are stupid”'

Comments

Hi,
I noticed when: ntpd logs time adjustments in: /var/log/daemon it uses a
unit of "ppm":
Jun 22 23:22:20 server ntpd[45813]: adjusting clock frequency by
-1.127600 to 0.056400ppm
I checked: man ntpd and: man 2 adjfreq, and while: man 2 adjfreq
mentions the same unit - "ppm" - it doesn't explain what that means.
What does "ppm" stand for ?

Since you can't use a search engine to figure that out, I'll give you

a hint. ppm means "you are stupid".
