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.
