TCPIP$NTP failing to bind socket

[witchy]

Folks,

VMS IA64 8.4, TCPIP 5.7 ECO2

Trying to set up a simple NTP client to talk to an external timeserver.

I've added 'server x.x.x.x' to TCPIP$NTP.CONF to query said timeserver.

tcpip$ntp_run.log is showing this:

10 Jan 15:23:22 ntp[1853269]: bind() fd 3, family 2, port 123, addr 0.0.0.0, in_
classd=0 flags=8 fails: permission denied
10 Jan 15:23:22 ntp[1853269]: bind() fd 3, family 2, port 123, addr 10.197.113.1
32, in_classd=0 flags=8 fails: permission denied
10 Jan 15:23:22 ntp[1853269]: bind() fd 3, family 2, port 123, addr 127.0.0.1, i
n_classd=0 flags=0 fails: permission denied

followed by:

10 Jan 15:23:26 ntp[1853269]: adj_systime: not owner

every second.

Other services are fine and obviously IP itself it working. Anyone seen this before? All SYSTEM or TCPIP account based.

Cheers

Hello,

I also use ntp as client and works fine.

Have you restarted ntp service.

$ @sys$manager:TCPIP$NTP_SHUTDOWN

$ @sys$manager:TCPIP$NTP_STARTUP

I use this in my configureation file of ntp.

#    Client Mode

#

#    Client mode indicates that the local host wants to obtain time  from

#    the  remote server but it is not willing  to  provide  time  to  the

#    remote server.  Indicate client  mode  with  the  server  statement.

#    Identify each server with a fully-qualified DNS host name or with an

#    IP address in dotted-decimal notation.

server 10.240.5.1

server 10.243.0.1

also try this.

$ sho sym ntpdc

Hi Toine,

As is quite often the case with things like this they had to reboot the blade over the weekend and all is well!
