Hi


look in

/usr/share/doc

for file

# pg $PWD/NTP_Primer.txt
Network Time Protocol on HP-UX
==============================


The Network Time Protocol is a family of programs that are used to adjust
the system clock on your computer and keep it synchronized with external
sources of time. It is designed to provide accuracy in the microsecond to
millisecond range with hardware available in the mid 1990s.

The Network Time Protocol is described in RFC-1305. The family of programs
was developed for the public domain at the University of Delaware, and
plenty of good information is available at their web site:

Theres some really good online documentation on how to do it on your HP server in /usr/share/doc. Its called NTP_primer.txt

Also take a look at the default config file;
/usr/newconfig/etc/ntp.conf

It really depends on where your clock source comes from on how you configure your Server, the clients can then all get time off the server.

The man page is real long! see Alex Glennies response here: (again request for minimans for hp-ux)

Hi,

you must modify
1- /etc/ntp.conf:
server 127.127.1.1 # the localhost IP

fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 10 # show poor quality


2- /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons:
export NTPDATE_SERVER=127.127.1.1
export XNTPD=1
export XNTPD_ARGS=

Now /sbin/init.d/xntpd stop/start
