adding a reference clock with ntpq

[John Thurston]

ntpsecd on the host in question was not compiled from source. It is 
running 1.2.0 as supplied in the 'stable' Debian package repository.

I _am_ able to use ntpq to add and remove network time servers, so I 
know my ntpq-authentication process is working (and the add/remove 
portion of ntpq is working). I'm able to 'unpeer' my pps by assid. I am 
just unable to find a way to add it back.

The line in my conf is:

     refclock pps minpoll 0 ppspath /dev/pps0 refid pps

I've tried adding it back with that exact line. I've tried crafting a 
new line using the old-school 127. address.

I do also have a NMEA reference clock defined. Maybe the PPS reference 
clock can't be added back to the existing NMEA clock signal? But if I 
unpeer my NMEA reference clock, I am similarly unable to add it back 
with ntpq.

After removing either reference clock, the only way I can find to 
re-connect them is to HUP ntpsecd
