You didn't say where one can get ntp for the HP's. The stock code does
not seem to compile. I *believe* there is a HP version (or patches) on
louie.udel.edu.  In the FAQ it mentions that xntp is available from
iworks, too.  Anyone interested should also check out the
comp.protocols.time.ntp newsgroup.  Going through the archives of this
newsgroup I see that Mark Bixby posted Ken Stone's patches here not so
very long ago...

Alternately, in the HP-UX archive at iworks there is "timed" - a simpler
method of keeping a group of machines synced time-wise, and my opinion a
better solution if a) you don't have a WWWV clock interfaced to a system
locally; and b) you are not directly on Internet and can sync to the
appropriate stratum 2 or 3 server.
