Help would be appreciated > Andrew Como INTERNET: como@bnl.gov You can get AIX-configures sources from our machine (for the next few days) anonymous ftp acd.ucar.edu in pub/rs6000/xntp.tar.Z. We put an entry in /etc/rc.tcpip that looks like this: # Start up network time protocol daemon # start /usr/local/bin/xntpd "$src_running" echo "starting the network time protocol daemon" /usr/local/bin/ntpdate 128.117.64.2 /usr/local/bin/xntpd echo "The date from Ft. Collins WWV is " `date` Of course you need to replace the 128.117.64.2 with the IP number of your own time server. Here is what our /etc/ntp.conf looks like: # Precision of the local clock to the nearest power of 2 # ex. # 60-HZ = 2**-6 # 100-HZ = 2**-7 # 1000-HZ = 2**-10 precision -7 # # Peers - please refer to the README file for proper selection of # NTP peers # # peer umd1.umd.edu server 128.117.64.2 driftfile /etc/ntp.drift Note that xntp required an OS patch to be installed until 3.1.5. Now AIX 3.1.5 runs xntp without any problems. Hope that helps. --Tim Fredrick fredrick@acd.ucar.edu
