NTP

Hi,

I want to start the xntpd on a A400-6X-server with HPUX11.0. I configured the /etc/ntp.conf like every other ntp.conf on our machines.
When i start the xntp-Daemon with /sbin/init.d/xntpd start i get the "step time server ..."-message. But the proccess donÂ´t run. When I look into the syslog I get the following messages:

Mar 17 09:25:16 dlrsrv01 xntpd[5870]: xntpd version 3.5f: Tue Jun 25 12:40:32 IST 2002 PHNE_27223
Mar 17 09:25:16 dlrsrv01 xntpd[5870]: tickadj = 625, tick = 10000, tvu_maxslew = 61875
Mar 17 09:25:16 dlrsrv01 xntpd[5870]: precision = 12 usec
Mar 17 09:25:16 dlrsrv01 xntpd[5870]: bind() fd 11, family 2, port 123, addr c053e5ff, in_classd=0 flags=0 fails: Address alre
ady in use

I "googled" for the last message and i got a forum-entry (i actually donÂ´t know which forum) that xntp have a problem with aliases. Is this right? Because on the machine are two logical Interfaces on the lan0-interface configured.

Can somebody help?

address already in use.
check if any other process is using port 123

#lsof -i tcp:123

Hi,

THX for your reply. But I must disappoint you. The TCP-Port 123 is not in use of another process.
Any other idea?

I have found a solution. It seems that xntp have a problem if the machine have two or more logical networkinterfaces on one physical.
In our original ntp.conf we have a peer-entry... it seems that a machine with more logical networkinterfaces donÂ´t like this entry. I only have to change the entry to server and IP-address... and it works.

THX for help
