[PASTORELLI]

Hello,

i've a DS10 sever whith tru64 5.1B.
I want to install it like an NTP server, which gives correct time to all my network products.

You need to determine if your NTP server is intra or inter net. Local, or intra, is most secure since UDP is a big security hole and to use an outside internet server you'll need to open udp 123 or a radio. Most people don't open udp 123 to the world. Add these lines in the NTP configuration file to build a local server:

server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 8

Here's a list of NIST time servers. (* click on server names. *)

you can configure the ntp within the SMS station. Simple use ntpsetup which will guide you through the setup.
