NTP Client configuration

[Taulant Shamo]

How can I configure NTP client?
can I check that ntp is installed or not?

I can give ntpq -p but the result is:
ntpq> peers
localhost: timed out, nothing received

Thanks

At first glance you can inquire for service
$ TCPIP SH SERVICE NTP /FULL

To see if ntp is running use

$ show system/proc=tcpip$ntp*

If you're running a recent version of VMS and HP's TCPIP the ntp configuration file is sys$specific:[tcpip$ntp]tcpip$ntp.conf. If the file (and directory don'exist) use

@sys$manager:tcpip$config

This will set up the ntp service. You'll need to edit tcpip$ntp.template file to create tcpip$ntp.conf.

I see that does not exist any *ntp* process.
My OpenVMS version is v7.2-1

SCCRA1$ show sys/proc=*ntp*

SCCRA1$ tcpip
%DCL-W-IVVERB, unrecognized command verb - check validity and spelling
\TCPIP\

SCCRA1$ @sys$manager:tcpip$config
%DCL-E-OPENIN, error opening SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]TCPIP$CONFIG.COM; as input
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found



As you see above these files not exist

It would appear you don't have TCPIP installed.
Try

$ @sys$manager:ucx$config

in case you have the old version installed.

Hi Taulant,
you don't see NTP process because service doesn't start.
The right way to see NTP service (and any other tcp/ip service) is
$ TCPIP SHO SERV NTP /FULL
you should see service disabled.
You can execute
$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG
to configure NTP and any other service of tcp/ip suite.

This file does not exist see printout:

SCCRA1$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG
%DCL-E-OPENIN, error opening SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]TCPIP$CONFIG.COM; as input
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found

[David B Sneddon]

Try

$ @sys$manager:ucx$config

If that also fails then you will need to install
TCPIP.

$ PROD SHOW PROD will show the products installed and the versions. This is highly valuable data for help....

Taulant,
if you don't have TCPIP$CONFIG, you have old version of tcp/ip suit called UCX. So every command beginnig with TCPIP$ has to be modificed to UCX$; therefore
$ @SYS$MANAGER:UCX$CONFIG
and to see services:
$ UCX SHOW SERV NTP /FULL

Sorry, for misunderstanding.
