Can anybody help these folks?

Don't reply to me, I'm just passing this along.

Subject: Has anyone installed ntp (Network time protocol) on the Convex

I would like to put up the ntp daemon on our Convex C-240.  Has anyone done
this?

There seems to be convex specific code in the tar file I got via FTP from
uunet.uu.net.  However it does not seem to compile.  It references include
files like "sema.h"  - These sound like OS source code files to me...

I have xntp3.1 running on our C210 with ConvexOS 9.1.  In fact, I have
had all versions running here.  ntp and xntpdc2 haev run very smoothly
over here, but xntp3 has some quirks, due to changed default
snychronisation-distance-handling.  I mean, it runs and keeps the
clock right, but it complains a lot, dropping several STEPs before
applying them.

I compile with options:

LIBDEFS= -DXNTP_BIG_ENDIAN
RANLIB=		ranlib
DEFS= -DREFCLOCK -DNO_SIGNED_CHAR_DECL -DREADKMEM -DDEBUG -DLOG_NTP=LOG_LOCAL0 -DCONFIG_FILE=\\"/usr/local/etc/xntp.conf\\"
AUTHDEFS= -DDES # -DMD5
CLOCKDEFS= -DLOCAL_CLOCK
DAEMONLIBS=
RESLIB=
COPTS= -O
COMPILER= cc
BINDIR=	/usr/local/etc
ADJLIB=
COMPAT=

If you have more questions, we'll hear,

Stefan.

In my previous post, apart from some typing errors and extremely lazy
English, I also forgot to mention, that I have put the old
des_crypt(3) routines back in /usr/lib/libc.a, since I didn't want to
rewrite xntp3 to use the fcrypt routines from Robert Baldwin, Icarus
Sparry and Alec Muffett.  Pure laziness again, I must admit.

I seem to remember that it was necessary to use either DES or MD5,
with the latter being difficult to get to compile right.  Without both
you get bitten by some programming errors (has to do with some
inclusions and/or function definitions).
