I am new to the ntp world, so bear with me...

I am trying to get xntp to run on an SGI Indigo.  The daemon xntpd 
exits right away, apparantly because "tickadj" and "tick" are not 
used in the kernel.  Is there any way around this or am I out of luck?

Also, does anyone know if I can succesfully synchronize two Indigo 
clocks running at 1200Hz to within 5 (or less) milliseconds, or am
I dreaming?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
