I would like to hear from anyone regarding their success in getting a timed to work on ultrix. Specifically a PMAX. -pete

Specifically a PMAX. I have compiled the timed from the (publically available portion of the) Tahoe release of 4.3 BSD on my PMAXen and have not had any problems with it (in fact, when the PMAXen are slaved to my 4.3BSD VAX the slipping clock problem with the PMAX becomes a much less annoying problem). It runs under Ultrix 3.0 and 3.1. If you don't have access to the source for timed you can get both the executable and the binaries from wuarchive.wustl.edu in wuarchive.wustl.edu:~ftp/fixes/ultrix.risc/* wuarchive.wustl.edu:~ftp/unix/4.3BSD-tahoe/etc/timed/* Hope this helps, Chris Myers chris@wugate.wustl.edu Software Engineer +1 314 362-6186 Office of the Network Coordinator Washington University in St. Louis

Somebody just recently asked the same question for a Sun on comp.bugs.4bsd; here is my response: From: rusty To: benson@odi.com () CC: comp-bugs-4bsd Date: Fri, 8 Sep 89 11:21:54 EST In-reply-to: root@odi.com's message of 8 Sep 89 13:02:15 GMT Subject: The timed and I aren't getting along very well Toss timed and use ntp. I tried the various known-to-work-on-suns patches for the 4.3 timed and was never able to get it to work well. ntp is much better anyways. You can get the ntp sources from trantor.umd.edu in the directory /pub/ntp.3.4. The file ntp-test.tar.Z is what everyone seems to be using. In the directory /archive is a collection of the mail that's been going around on the ntp mailing list. There is a bunch of documentation on ntp on louie.udel.edu in /pub/ntp. And I noticed that the ntp-test.tar.Z file is in there as well but I've heard that it's corrupted.
