ntp 4.2.6p5

    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.
