Hi,
Is anybody running the NPTD functionality in Multinet 5.5 on VAX VMS
7.3 (under SIMH)? If so, how did you get it to work. I switched it on
with a simple NTP.CONF and tried to query it. The logfile doesn?t
change much and I/O counts go up slowly. My attempts to query it
usually result in a traceback. I?m a bit concerned by the lack of an
NTPDATE command mentioned in the documentation, despite having done a
full install. The timezone facility is a bit primitive too.
Works okay on multiple SIMH OpenVMS/VAX 7.3 instances. Here is what I get:
$ multinet ntpq -p

And here is my MULTINET:NTP.CONF; 10.42.0.0/24, 10.100.0.0/24 and
10.200.0.0/24 entries are my local subnets with unrestricted access.
Also I run my own public NTP servers, but any good public servers should
work. You can just have the pool entry if you want.

I?m thinking of giving up with it. I have local TCP
services on the
machines hosting SIMH instances. One of them returns a local time
string in VMS format, so I may make use of that in an RDATE-like fashion.
Keith
Hope this is of some help.
Best,
