Hello xntp experts!

  I have installed xntp3 throughout our department, and it seems
  to be acting up on two of our three mips.  (It runs fine on the
  Suns and Dec's---so far)

  On the mips 3230 everything seems to be under control, but on
  the mips M1000 (RISC/os 4.52) I get messages like this in the
  /usr/adm/messages file:
      xntpd[231]: peer 129.128.28.101 event 84 status 1014
      xntpd[231]: peer 129.128.23.12 event 84 status 1014

  The mips M120 (RISC/os 4.51) produces similary messages, and 
  a different one:
    xntpd[122]: peer 129.128.4.11 event 84 status 90f4
    xntpd[122]: peer 129.128.4.39 event 84 status 90f4
    xntpd[122]: peer 129.128.72.39 event 84 status 1014

    xntpd[122]: adjust: STEP dropped (129.128.4.240 offset 0.  187578321)
    xntpd[122]: adjust: STEP dropped (129.128.4.240 offset 0.  214247108)

  At bootup, the following commands are executed:
    /usr/etc/ntpdate host1 host2 host3 host4
    /usr/etc/xntpd

  The time still seems to be kept accurate, and I can't find anything about
  this in the manual, but the sheer number of these messages getting
  dropped into /usr/adm/messages concerns me.  

  Please email any suggestions or advice.
  Thanks!
