decosf1 revision 290001
1Some major changes were necessary to make xntp v3 run on the DEC Alpha 2hardware running DEC OSF/1. All "long" and "u_long" declarations and 3casts in the code were changed to "LONG" and "U_LONG" and a new header 4file (include/ntp_types.h) was added. The new header file defines 5LONG as int and U_LONG as u_int for the Alpha hardware and as long 6and u_long for anything else. A couple of #ifs where changed in 7ntpq and xntpdc to get the result of a signal defined correctly. The 8Config.decosf1 file built the programs here with no problems. 9 10I don't have a radio clock here, so none of that code has been tested. 11I have run xntpd, xntpdc, xntpres, ntpq, ntpdate, and tickadj under 12DEC OSF/1 v1.2-2 (BL10). 13 14Mike Iglesias Internet: iglesias@draco.acs.uci.edu 15University of California, Irvine BITNET: iglesias@uci 16Office of Academic Computing uucp: ...!ucbvax!ucivax!iglesias 17Distributed Computing Support phone: (714) 856-6926 18 19Support for NTP Version 2 is included with the current OSF/1 release. If 20you are upgrading to NTP Version 3 with this distribution, you should not 21use the xntpd or ntpq programs that come with the OSF/1 release. The 22older programs should be replaced by the newer programs of the same name, 23either in situ or via a link to a tranquil spot like /usr/local/bin. The 24make install script in the this distribution don't work due to a silly 25install program incompatibility, so you will need to copy the programs by 26hand. 27 28Don't use the setup utility to install or configure the xntpd installation, 29as it will cheerfully clobber your painstakingly crafted ntp.conf program. 30However, assuming you put this file in /etc/ntp.conf, you can use the 31/sbin/init.d/xntpd script to start and stop the daemon. 32 33This distribution compiles with nominal mumur with the stock cc compiler 34that comes with OSF/1. 35 36Dave Mills 37Electrical Engineering Department 38Unibergisty of Delabunch 39mills@udel.edu 40 41
