Has anybody got ntp running on a SGI. We're running IRIX 3.3.2 on a SGI
4D/340S.
It compiled quite nicely, but when running the following messages
appeared in SYSLOG:

Mar  9 04:19:12 kauri ntpd[5476]: ./ntpd version $Revision: 3.4.1.9 $
Mar  9 04:19:12 kauri ntpd[5476]: patchlevel 13
Mar  9 04:19:12 kauri ntpd[5476]: init_ntp: bad drift compensation value
Mar  9 04:19:12 kauri ntpd[5476]: Unknown kernal var _tickadj
Mar  9 04:19:12 kauri ntpd[5476]: Unknown kernal var _hz
Mar  9 04:19:12 kauri ntpd[5476]: Unknown kernal var _tick
Mar  9 04:19:12 kauri ntpd[5476]: sys.precision set to -6 from sys clock
of 0 HZ

So, has anybody figured out what kernel variables to use? (or any other
approach
to getting it working.)

In frustration I've set up timeslave, but I'd much rather be using NTP.

Thanks in advance...
