Agree.
> But what if the user set 0 to the local_clock...hmm..
or make option like:
# echo wallclock > option/clock
# echo localclock > option/clock
is best way.
But it needs rewriting whole option source.
Maybe now, we can use a neutrality way as:
# echo 0 > option/wallclock # reset to default clock(local clock)
# echo 0 > option/locakclock # no effect
Thanks
