This file hopefully describes the whatever and however of how to get xntp
|
||
|
|
running on hpux 8.0 and later s300, s700, and s800.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First off, all the standard disclaimers hold here ... 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 :-)
|
||
|
|
Xntp has been in use here for several months 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 8.0 or later, pretty much hang it up now.
|
||
|
|
This stuff has run here on 8.0 s300, s700, and s800. Its possible that it
|
||
|
|
runs on 7.0 but I have not tried v3 code on 7.0 at all.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Note that recent reports state that this release does in fact run on HP
|
||
|
|
300 and 400 boxes, which run 7.0 - Ed.]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next, let me explain a bit about how this stuff works on HP-UX since we don't
|
||
|
|
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 here may yield very odd results.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What to do to get this stuff running ?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* cd ..
|
||
|
|
* Say "make makeconfig"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* cd ..
|
||
|
|
* 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 ..
|
||
|
|
* Now we need to install this stuff ... make install will not work
|
||
|
|
unless you have replaced the SYSV install command with a BSD
|
||
|
|
compatible version. So ... the simplest thing to do is run
|
||
|
|
make -n install and do manually what it would have done.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* I'd suggest reading the xntp docs about now :-) ... seriously !!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Check out the docs and the stuff in xntp/conf and build a config
|
||
|
|
file ... put it in /usr/local/etc/xntp.conf (or where ever you
|
||
|
|
defined the config file to be in Config). One thing we 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".
