Annotation of embedaddon/ntp/html/hints/decosf1, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       misho       1: Some major changes were necessary to make xntp v3 run on the DEC Alpha
                      2: hardware running DEC OSF/1.  All "long" and "u_long" declarations and
                      3: casts in the code were changed to "LONG" and "U_LONG" and a new header
                      4: file (include/ntp_types.h) was added.  The new header file defines
                      5: LONG as int and U_LONG as u_int for the Alpha hardware and as long
                      6: and u_long for anything else.  A couple of #ifs where changed in
                      7: ntpq and xntpdc to get the result of a signal defined correctly.  The
                      8: Config.decosf1 file built the programs here with no problems.
                      9: 
                     10: I don't have a radio clock here, so none of that code has been tested.
                     11: I have run xntpd, xntpdc, xntpres, ntpq, ntpdate, and tickadj under
                     12: DEC OSF/1 v1.2-2 (BL10).

                     19: Support for NTP Version 2 is included with the current OSF/1 release. If
                     20: you are upgrading to NTP Version 3 with this distribution, you should not
                     21: use the xntpd or ntpq programs that come with the OSF/1 release. The
                     22: older programs should be replaced by the newer programs of the same name,
                     23: either in situ or via a link to a tranquil spot like /usr/local/bin. The
                     24: make install script in the this distribution don't work due to a silly
                     25: install program incompatibility, so you will need to copy the programs by
                     26: hand.
                     27: 
                     28: Don't use the setup utility to install or configure the xntpd installation,
                     29: as it will cheerfully clobber your painstakingly crafted ntp.conf program.
                     30: However, assuming you put this file in /etc/ntp.conf, you can use the
                     31: /sbin/init.d/xntpd script to start and stop the daemon.
                     32: 
                     33: This distribution compiles with nominal mumur with the stock cc compiler
                     34: that comes with OSF/1.
