[comp.protocols.time.ntp] ntp maintainece

  I have a machine which is chiming with version 1 and version 2
  ntp daemons. It seems to only talk with the version 1 servers.

  a sysstat command shows

 xntpdc> sysstat
system uptime:          312
time since reset:       312
bad stratum in packet:  0
old version packets:    14
new version packets:    20
unknown version number: 0
bad packet length:      0
packets processed:      14
bad authentication:     0
wander hold downs:      0

 notice that packets processed equals old versions packets.

 a peers command shows

     remote           local      st poll reach  delay   offset   disp

  the bottom three are the version 2 servers.

 Why does my version 2 xntp not talk to other version 2 servers but
 will talk to version 1 servers.

 my configfile is

 #gandalf
peer 129.243.52.97 version 2
#piggy
peer 129.243.52.228 version 2
#remus
peer 129.243.52.98 version 2
#
#these are our servers in denver to sync to
#but only to three
server 129.243.0.2 version 1
server 129.243.0.1 version 1
server 129.243.0.4 version 1
#server 129.243.0.8 version 1


driftfile /etc/ntpd.drift


 BTW, the sever piggy is running the same code and talks to 
 the local machine that is having problems. piggy has the same
 config file except that piggy is replaced with this machine.
