1181834SrobertoSome major changes were necessary to make xntp v3 run on the DEC Alpha
2181834Srobertohardware running DEC OSF/1.  All "long" and "u_long" declarations and
3181834Srobertocasts in the code were changed to "LONG" and "U_LONG" and a new header
4181834Srobertofile (include/ntp_types.h) was added.  The new header file defines
5181834SrobertoLONG as int and U_LONG as u_int for the Alpha hardware and as long
6181834Srobertoand u_long for anything else.  A couple of #ifs where changed in
7181834Srobertontpq and xntpdc to get the result of a signal defined correctly.  The
8181834SrobertoConfig.decosf1 file built the programs here with no problems.

10181834SrobertoI don't have a radio clock here, so none of that code has been tested.
11181834SrobertoI have run xntpd, xntpdc, xntpres, ntpq, ntpdate, and tickadj under
12181834SrobertoDEC OSF/1 v1.2-2 (BL10).

19181834SrobertoSupport for NTP Version 2 is included with the current OSF/1 release. If
20181834Srobertoyou are upgrading to NTP Version 3 with this distribution, you should not
21181834Srobertouse the xntpd or ntpq programs that come with the OSF/1 release. The
22181834Srobertoolder programs should be replaced by the newer programs of the same name,
23181834Srobertoeither in situ or via a link to a tranquil spot like /usr/local/bin. The
24181834Srobertomake install script in the this distribution don't work due to a silly
25181834Srobertoinstall program incompatibility, so you will need to copy the programs by
26181834Srobertohand.
27181834Sroberto
28181834SrobertoDon't use the setup utility to install or configure the xntpd installation,
29181834Srobertoas it will cheerfully clobber your painstakingly crafted ntp.conf program.
30181834SrobertoHowever, assuming you put this file in /etc/ntp.conf, you can use the
31181834Sroberto/sbin/init.d/xntpd script to start and stop the daemon.
32181834Sroberto
33181834SrobertoThis distribution compiles with nominal mumur with the stock cc compiler
34181834Srobertothat comes with OSF/1.
