Is it possible to configure NTP Server on Windows 2000 and client on HP-UX 11

[binraj]

Hi

I am trying to setup NTP with Win2K server as NTP Server (using local clock) and client as HP. Is it possible to do this. I keep getting error "no server suitable for synchronization found".

Can I get a detailed reply on how to setup NTP Server on Win2K and client on HP-UX.

Thanks
Bindu

Absolutely. While UNIX works well with windows, windows NTP clients don't work well with UNIX. So UNIX NPT clients are often used.


HP-UX NTP Client
======
# cd /etc/rc.config.d
# /sbin/init.d/xntp stop
# vi netdaemons

export NTPDATE_SERVER=node name
export XNTPD=1

# ntpdate
# /sbin/init.d/xntp start

Wait for about 5-8 min, run the follwoing to check the status:
# ntpq -p
chk for output of "reftime" it should not be zero if the servers are in sync.

Check you have port 123 open from client side.
Also check you have problems communicating ti windows server.

Regarding setting up 2000 as the NTP server: Unfortunately, and unlike UNIX, Windows and Microsoft choose to use add on products from 3rd parties. Here's a list that refers to NIST and other links, NIST = National Institute for Standards and Time and is the Fed. dept. that oversees this.

Answer: The Sun rises first on Greenwich, England. (* GMT or Zulu time. *)
