[comp.protocols.time.ntp] XNTP on SPARCstation

de5@ornl.gov (Dave Sill) (05/17/91)

I've compiled and installed XNTP on various Sun, DEC, and IBM systems.
We have one DEC system set up as a broadcast server, and most other
systems are broadcast clients.

I've got one SPARCstation 1+ running SunOS 4.1 that stubbornly refuses
to be a broadcast client.  It runs fine when peered a few other
systems, but as a broadcast client all I ever get from xntpdc is:

xntpdc> peers
***Server reports data not found

I've got exactly the same xntp binaries on other SS1+'s under 4.1
running just fine as bcast clients.  None of the Sun run NIS, and I
just got the recalcitrant machine running the resolver, but that had
no effect.

Any ideas?
