Thanks to those who helped solve my problem.
I had xntpd running once but then it would not run after a reboot.
The problem is that the Sparc has both a BSD & a System V development
environment. Since I work with System V, I had my path set that way
yesterday when I recompiled the xntpd program. The earlier version
that worked must have been compiled with my path set for BSD.
So I changed the line in the Config file to look like this:
COMPILER= /usr/ucb/cc
NOTE: How about mentioning in the README file that SUN machines
require the use of the BSD environment.
