Time synchronisation

[David Connolly]

Hi all,

I have a requirement to syncronise the times across a bunch of 11.00 and 11.11 servers. Is there an in-built utility to do so, or should I download & install an NTP server?

What ports/services do these utilities rely on? Some of the boxes are (very) hardened.

Thanks in advance

Depends on your installation, but normally the ntp daemon is already on your system and is called 'xntpd' (look in /usr/sbin for it).

Hi David,

NTP features already in HP-UX, but need to configure plus activate this.

Please search the document about 'How do I configure a local NTP server?' at knowledge mine, the docID is KBRC00000415.

You can get the same document from url below :

Hope this information can help you.

Best Regards,

Hi David,

By the way you can use SAM to setup ntp services, just fire up sam.
