+Included in this distribution of XNTP is a configuration file suitable
+for use with BSDI's BSD/OS 1.1 (formerly BSD/386 1.1). 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!
