HP doesn't have anthing -to do with this stuff. I fool with it in my spare time because we use it and -because I like to. We just happen to have a lot of HP machines around here :-) -Xntpd has been in use here for several years and has a fair amount of mileage -on various HP platforms within the company. I can't really guarantee bug fixes -but I'd certainly like to hear about bugs and I won't hestitate to look at -any fixes sent to me. - -Now lets talk OS. If you don't have 7.0 or later, pretty much hang it up now. -This stuff has run here on pretty much everything from 8.0 upward on s300, -s700, and s800. It is known to run on 7.0 s300/s400 but all reports are -from the field and not my personal experience. - -If you are lucky enough to have a s300 or s400 with 9.03, then you no longer -have to worry about adjtimed as HP-UX now has adjtime(2). The rest of you -will have to wait on 10.0 which will have adjtime(2) and a supported though -a bit older version of xntpd. - -Next, let me explain a bit about how this stuff works on HP-UX's that do not -have adjtime(2). The directory adjtime contains libadjtime.a and the adjtimed -daemon. Instead of the adjtime(2) system call, we use a library routine to -talk to adjtimed thru message queues. Adjtimed munges into /dev/kmem and -causes the clock to skew properly as needed. PLEASE NOTE that the adjtime -code provided here is NOT a general replacement for adjtime(2) ... use of -this adjtime(3)/adjtimed(8) other than with xntpd may yield very odd results. - -What to do to get this stuff running ? - - * If you are running an OS less than 10.0 or do not have a s300/s400 - with 9.03 or better - -> cd machines - -> vi hpux - -> (change -DSYS_HPUX=? to match whatever you are running [7,8,9]) - -> cd .. - - * Say "make makeconfig" - - * Say "make", sit back for a few minutes. - - * cd authstuff - * Say "./authcert < certdata" and check the output. Every line should - end with "OK" ... if not, we got trouble. - * Now try "./authspeed auth.samplekeys". What we want to - remember here is the "authentication delay in CPU time" - * cd .. - - * Say "make install" - - * I'd suggest reading the xntp docs about now :-) ... seriously !! - - * One thing I have added to this version of xntpd is a way to select - config files if you are sharing /usr/local thru NFS or whatever. - If the file /usr/local/etc/xntp.conf happens to be a directory, the - files in that directory are searched until a match is found. The - rules for a match are: - - 1. Our hostname - 2. default.<machine id> (as in default.375 or default.850) - 3. default - - * Ok, make sure adjtimed is running (just start it up for now with - "/usr/local/etc/adjtimed"). Using -z as an option will get you - a usage message. - - * Now start up xntpd and watch it work. - - * Make sure that adjtimed gets started at boot right before xntpd. - We do this in /etc/netbsdsrc. They must both run as root !! - -Possible problems ? - - * On some 320's and 835's we have had to run adjtimed with "-p 45" or - so to get rid of syslog messages about "last adjust did not finish". - - * At 9.0, there is a problem with DIAGMON (patch available from the - response center) which causes it to delete the message queue that - adjtimed/xntpd use to communicate. (see next note for result) - - * Xntpd has been known to get really ticked off when adjtime() fails - which is usually only while running the emulation code on HP-UX. - When it gets mad, it usually jumps the clock into never never land. - Possible reasons for this are adjtimed being killed or just never - started or adjtimed being completely swapped out on a really busy - machine (newer adjtimed try to lock themselves in memory to prevent - this one). - -Anything else ... just drop me a line at ken@sdd.hp.com - -Received: from louie.udel.edu by huey.udel.edu id aa14418; 15 Jun 95 9:19 EDT -Received: from host5.colby.edu (host-05.colby.edu) by host-04.colby.edu with ESMTP (1.37.109.15/Colby 1.1) - id AA165442355; Thu, 15 Jun 1995 09:19:16 -0400 -Received: by host5.colby.edu (1.37.109.15/Colby 1.1) - id AA056252339; Thu, 15 Jun 1995 09:18:59 -0400 -Date: Thu, 15 Jun 1995 09:18:59 -0400 (EDT) -From: "Jeff A.

In the course of doing this, I discovered that: - ---> $(TOP) is not defined in adjtime/Makefile, so "make install" can't - find the install.sh script. - ---> "make install" from the main Makefile never goes into the adjtime - directory, so I added the following two lines into the install - target of the main Makefile: - - @echo installing from adjtime - @cd adjtime && $(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) MFLAGS="$(MFLAGS)" MAKE="$(MAKE)" install - -This twiddle may not be right for all systems, but it got adjtimed -installed for me. - - You might also want to add to the hpux hints file that one way to -fire things up at boot time is to add the following lines to the localrc -function of /etc/rc: - - #---daemons for Network Time Protocol (version 3.4s) - #---note that adjtimed is only needed for HP-UX 9.X, not 10.0 - #---adjtimed must be running or xntpd won't work right... - if [ -x /usr/local/bin/adjtimed ]; then - /usr/local/bin/adjtimed -r & echo -n ' adjtimed' - if [ -x /usr/local/bin/xntpd ]; then - /usr/local/bin/xntpd & echo -n ' xntpd' - fi - fi - -I discovered that the "-r" option of adjtimed is needed to clear out any -trash from a previous execution of it.
