[TCPware V5.8-2 w/ ECOs] NTP doesn't work on my Itanic
Peter 'EPLAN' LANGSTOeGER
working (and TIMED was synching the time).
The NTP config is very simple (I had an identical version running on my
Alpha, but switched it later - to use the Alpha as a server for the Itanic)
but NTP doesn't start to synch (TIMED was supposed to run a FIXED_MASTER,
but was acting as a client - I had the TIMED running as FIXED_MASTER on
my Alpha as well - and so I switched TIMED totally off on the Itanic) and
without time synching my ZX6000 is running much faster (gaining seconds
in minutes!!) and I'm getting frustrated already...
In NTPSERVER.LOG is nothing of interest (NTP tells that it started and
uses the NTP.CONF)
Does anyone have also problems with TCPware NTP (on OpenVMS I64 V8.3-1H1)?
How to debug such a problem?
Many TIA

(Until I stopped it) TIMED did set the time about 48sec back every 4min!!
It is very frustrating, that my zx6000 (hardware?)clock is that way off...
>The NTP config is very simple
$ ty tcpware:ntp.conf
server 62.116.5.124 prefer
server 193.81.13.2
peer 192.168.1.4
but changing/simplifying it did also not help
$ ty tcpware:ntp.conf
server 192.168.1.4

28-APR-2009 17:03:48.29 precision = 1200.000 usec

and nothing else
Only hint I got, is that sometimes "precision = 1200.000 usec"
and sometimes "precision = 1000.000 usec"...

Any ideas (I have no [TCPware] support contract, and I hate to see
me switching to TCPIP - or perhaps only TIMED - cause of this)
