On this system, +the "cc" command is GCC 1.4x rather than PCC or GCC 2.x. It is imperative +that "cc" be used since it predefines the symbol __bsdi__; if you want to +use another compiler you will need to add -D__bsdi__ to catch the various +#ifdef's required for this system. + +The Kinemetrics/Truetime GPS-TM/TMD driver is known to work on this system. +The GPS-805 and GOES should also work fine. Hell, they should all work fine +but it's hard to test very many locally. + +Due to BNR2's strict interpretation of POSIX and XNTP's use of SIGIO, BSD/OS +can only handle one refclock per daemon. We're working this out with the +system architects. + +The config file is machine/bsdi, and the following steps should be all that +are required to install and use the bits. + +Note that you will need GNU sed; the version supplied with BSD/OS 1.1 loops +endlessly during "make refconf". Likewise you should get GNU make, which +the instructions below assume that you have put in /usr/local/bin/gnumake. + +To build the software: + + rm -f Config.local + gnumake refconf + gnumake MAKE=gnumake + +To install the software: + + gnumake install + + This will place all of the executables in /usr/local/etc. The config + file is expected to be /usr/local/etc/xntp.conf and the key file for + the optional authentication is /etc/ntp.keys. + + Craft a config file and a key file, and put them in the right places. + There is information on how to do this elsewhere in the documentation, + the only thing I'll mention is that I put the drift file in + /var/log/ntp.drift, and the authdelay on my 486DX/50 system is + 0.000064. Your mileage will vary, learn to use the authspeed tools + if you're going to authenticate. + + In the file /etc/rc.local, make sure that the invocation of ntpd is + commented out, and add an invocation of xntpd. Here's what I'm using: + + echo -n 'starting local daemons:' + + if [ -f /etc/ntp.keys -a -f /usr/local/etc/xntp.conf ]; then + echo -n ' xntpd'; /usr/local/etc/xntpd + fi + + #XXX# echo -n ' ntpd'; /usr/libexec/ntpd -t + +At this point, you should be good to go. Try running /usr/local/etc/xntpd and +using ntpq or xntpdc to see if things are working, then pay attention the next +time you reboot to make sure that xntpd is being invoked, and use ntpq or +xntpdc again to make sure all is well. + +Enjoy! |
