    6: Included in this distribution of XNTP is a configuration file suitable
    7: for use with BSDI's BSD/OS 1.1 (formerly BSD/386 1.1).  On this system,
    8: the "cc" command is GCC 1.4x rather than PCC or GCC 2.x.  It is imperative
    9: that "cc" be used since it predefines the symbol __bsdi__; if you want to
   10: use another compiler you will need to add -D__bsdi__ to catch the various
   11: #ifdef's required for this system.
   12: 
   13: The Kinemetrics/Truetime GPS-TM/TMD driver is known to work on this system.
   14: The GPS-805 and GOES should also work fine.  Hell, they should all work fine
   15: but it's hard to test very many locally.
   16: 
   17: Due to BNR2's strict interpretation of POSIX and XNTP's use of SIGIO, BSD/OS
   18: can only handle one refclock per daemon.  We're working this out with the
   19: system architects.
   20: 
   21: The config file is machine/bsdi, and the following steps should be all that
   22: are required to install and use the bits.
   23: 
   24: Note that you will need GNU sed; the version supplied with BSD/OS 1.1 loops
   25: endlessly during "make refconf".  Likewise you should get GNU make, which
   26: the instructions below assume that you have put in /usr/local/bin/gnumake.
   27: 
   28: To build the software:
   29: 
   30: 	rm -f Config.local
   31: 	gnumake refconf
   32: 	gnumake MAKE=gnumake
   33: 
   34: To install the software:
   35: 
   36: 	gnumake install
   37: 
   38: 	This will place all of the executables in /usr/local/etc.  The config
   39: 	file is expected to be /usr/local/etc/xntp.conf and the key file for
   40: 	the optional authentication is /etc/ntp.keys.
   41: 
   42: 	Craft a config file and a key file, and put them in the right places.
   43: 	There is information on how to do this elsewhere in the documentation,
   44: 	the only thing I'll mention is that I put the drift file in 
   45: 	/var/log/ntp.drift, and the authdelay on my 486DX/50 system is 
   46: 	0.000064.  Your mileage will vary, learn to use the authspeed tools
   47: 	if you're going to authenticate.
   48: 	
   49: 	In the file /etc/rc.local, make sure that the invocation of ntpd is
   50: 	commented out, and add an invocation of xntpd.  Here's what I'm using:
   51: 
   52: 		echo -n 'starting local daemons:'
   53: 
   54: 		if [ -f /etc/ntp.keys -a -f /usr/local/etc/xntp.conf ]; then
   55: 		    echo -n ' xntpd';           /usr/local/etc/xntpd
   56: 		fi
   57: 
   58: 		#XXX# echo -n ' ntpd';          /usr/libexec/ntpd -t
   59: 
   60: At this point, you should be good to go.  Try running /usr/local/etc/xntpd and
   61: using ntpq or xntpdc to see if things are working, then pay attention the next
   62: time you reboot to make sure that xntpd is being invoked, and use ntpq or
   63: xntpdc again to make sure all is well.  
   64: 
   65: Enjoy!
