Ntpd

Hello,

I'm looking for assitance on setting up network time protocol on my HP-ux boxes.

I have edit the .conf file accordingly. And /etc/services. But whenever I try and start the service nothing happens at all. No error message, nothing.

I have a SCO box as a time server and I wish for my HP machines to talk to that.

I'm wondering if anyone can help with this. I can post any files that may be of use. What steps do i need to take to set this up? I've added this line to my /etc/ntpd.conf file:

server ganelive minpoll 180 prefer

Ganelive is the name of the time server (doesnt work with the IP address either).
