Running "timed" daemon on HP-UX 11.0

[Raynald Boucher]

We are trying to use the OpenBSD "timed" daemon to synchronize HP-UX servers.

This not being standard software, Where can I find a ported version of it? or how may I compile source imported from on OpenBSD server?

Besides, I'm thinking this method will be simpler and avoid maintenance of multiple config files every time a server is added/removed or we have an IP address change... Are there known inconveniences to using "timed" instead of NTP?

Thanks.

You should be able to compile it using gnu's - gcc compiler, gmake, gnu's ld and gnu's as.

Hi:

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "...avoid maintenance of multiple config files every time a server is added/removed or we have an IP address change".

'ntp' works perfectly well with DNS and the configuration files are otherwise server-based, and quite quick to setup.

Regards!

Hi Raynald,

Take a look at the thread below,

It suggest you to use NTP.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

ntp is free , is native to the HP-ux, easy to configure and setup and is widely used.
So, any specific reason to look for other options?

As already mentioned above, use NTP, its a standard protocol, supported by HP and comes free with the OS. Setup is also very easy.
