Has anyone successfully implemented the Network Time Protocol on an RS/6000? I have managed to get version 3.4 (patch 13) built, but it seems to be silently not working. The code is heavily-dependent on BSD semantics and include structure, but using -lbsd and -D_BSD seems to have enabled the appropriate compatibility modes. (Can someone tell me what -D_BSD *does* anyway?) Are there any other incantations which might help? I am allowing the Makefile to default to ``cc'' instead of ``xlc'' and I'm not sure that's correct, either.$$ -- INET: mrl@uai.com UUCP: uunet!uaisun4!mrl PSTN: +1 213 822 4422 USPS: 7740 West Manchester Boulevard, Suite 208, Playa del Rey, CA 90293 WANT: Succinct, insightful statement to occupy this space. Inquire within.

Inquire within. Yes I have it ported . Unfortunetly there was a bug in gettimeofday and settimeofday (can crash the system if called (im)properly :-). And even if called according to IBM's nice manual page ( which doesn't describe the bits that crashed the system even though they're standard on every other system with BSD enhancements I can lay my hands on) it does nothing. These bugs were fixed in a partial update (2003 ?). So if if you'd like the patched code drop me a line and I'll send it to the AIX archive.

And even we are running it as part of the AFS release from TransArc + i have ported it to AIX/370 so our 3090 can synch up too... no probs on the 3090 apart from copiler/#include differences... so far, but it hasnt been running long... jon
