- Actually, after many attempts to get xntpd up and running, I gave it up.
- It went straight down without any messages whatsoever. Then, after I made
- some fixes to the source files, mainly in signal handlers, it seemed like
- I could make use of ntpdate. Irix appearently resets signal handling to
- SIG_DFL upon traps. As far as I can tell, the same problems appear with
- ntp v3, but that one I could not even get going on SunOS machines, so I
- figured I had to live with ntp v2 for the time being.
-
- Now, running ntpdate from cron on the Iris'es seemingly works on most
- machines except one, which has Irix 4.0.4. The others are Irix 4.0.1 and
- 4.0.2. Have anyone else fiddled with ntp and Iris'es out there?
