- I have been running xntp3 on two DECstations for several months, using
- them as campus servers. They are being used by lots of Suns, HPs, and
- other DECstations with no problems. I just took the latest xntp3 from
- louie and built it on a DECstation; it runs fine and xntpdc on a Sun
- can query it with no problems. I suspect there's some other problem
- lurking here that's preventing xntp from working correctly.
