- Assuming that the RS/6000 has an working NTP implementation, then it
- can syncronize its clock from a NeXT. The NTP provided by NeXT
- implements version 1 of the Network Time Protocol, so you need to make
- sure that if you are using xntp or xntp3 that you specify "version 1"
- in the configuration when when you reference the NeXT.
-
- Alternatively, you can install xntp3 on the NeXT which works just
- fine. Currently, xntp3 doesn't look at the time service stuff in
- netinfo for configuration; it reads the /etc/ntp.conf file. This can
- be considered a bug or a feature.
