Issue with starting xntp daemon

[MikeL_4]

I've just installed HP-UX 11.31, and noticed that the xntp daemon is not starting up...

and I do not see any error messages in the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file to indicate a problem...

=>echo "..............." >> /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
=>echo "..............." >> /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
=>echo "..............." >> /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
grep for xntp shows service not running:

=>ps -ef |grep xntp |grep -v grep

Tried starting xntp daemon:
=>/sbin/init.d/xntpd start

and still shows as not running:
=>ps -ef |grep xntp |grep -v grep

and there are no errors in the syslog.log file:
=>tail -6 /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

What am I missing here to get this resolved ???

One other note, I checked /etc/rc.log and it shows:

Start time synchronization
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S660xntpd start":
----------------------------
"/sbin/rc2.d/S660xntpd start" SKIPPED

I'm closing question....

I forgot the /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons file,  I coded the XNTPD parameter

and xntpd started.....

export XNTPD=1
