I was reading an article taken from the Unix Review (Vol.8 No.12) that mentioned a program that would keep all the clocks on all the computers synchronized using NTP (Network Time Protocol) Daemons. The author of this article mentioned that he used the xntpd implementation of NTP written by Dennis Ferguson at the University of Toronto. Does anyone know anything about this program or do you have a program that will synchronize the clocks on different computers on a lan ? If you do, can you mail a copy of it to me or tell me how/where I can get my own copy ? The article mentioned the program is available through anonymous ftp to louie.udel.edu in the directory ~ftp/pub/ntp/xntp. Anonymous ftp is not available on our system. It also mentions that the program uses the UNIX adjtime(). That is not available on our system either (I'm on an HP9000 series 300 running HP-UX rev.7.0) Is there a public domain copy of this ? I'd really appreciate any help on tracking this program down. Thanks, Anne Fraser Please e-mail the responses... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anne Fraser uunet!jtsv16!geac!aeshq!annef Environment Canada Atmospheric Environment Service ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anne Fraser uunet!jtsv16!geac!aeshq!annef Environment Canada Atmospheric Environment Service ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anonymous ftp is not available on our system. Then without a local reference clock, you may have an interesting go of it. Anyway, it's available via anonymous UUCP from osu-cis. Write to uucp@cis.ohio-state.edu for instructions if you need them, then get osu-cis!~/ls-lR.Z to find where it's hiding. It also mentions that the program uses the UNIX adjtime().

Is it available for the HP9000/3xx running > HP-UX 7.0? Pick up xntp* fro columbia.edu. Works great ... we use it here on ~250 machines. -- Ken columbia.edu:hp/xntp* is also on osu-cis for UUCP access.
