All "long" and "u_long" declarations and +casts in the code were changed to "LONG" and "U_LONG" and a new header +file (include/ntp_types.h) was added. The new header file defines +LONG as int and U_LONG as u_int for the Alpha hardware and as long +and u_long for anything else. A couple of #ifs where changed in +ntpq and xntpdc to get the result of a signal defined correctly. The +Config.decosf1 file built the programs here with no problems. + +I don't have a radio clock here, so none of that code has been tested. +I have run xntpd, xntpdc, xntpres, ntpq, ntpdate, and tickadj under +DEC OSF/1 v1.2-2 (BL10). + +Mike Iglesias Internet: iglesias@draco.acs.uci.edu +University of California, Irvine BITNET: iglesias@uci +Office of Academic Computing uucp: ...!ucbvax!ucivax!iglesias +Distributed Computing Support phone: (714) 856-6926 + +Support for NTP Version 2 is included with the current OSF/1 release. If +you are upgrading to NTP Version 3 with this distribution, you should not +use the xntpd or ntpq programs that come with the OSF/1 release. The +older programs should be replaced by the newer programs of the same name, +either in situ or via a link to a tranquil spot like /usr/local/bin. The +make install script in the this distribution don't work due to a silly +install program incompatibility, so you will need to copy the programs by +hand. + +Don't use the setup utility to install or configure the xntpd installation, +as it will cheerfully clobber your painstakingly crafted ntp.conf program. +However, assuming you put this file in /etc/ntp.conf, you can use the +/sbin/init.d/xntpd script to start and stop the daemon. + +This distribution compiles with nominal mumur with the stock cc compiler +that comes with OSF/1. + +Dave Mills +Electrical Engineering Department +Unibergisty of Delabunch +mills@udel.edu + |
