This is harder than I expected. Even after reading the small amount of info available it's still a mystery. I just got xntpd version 3.1 and am trying to use it on a local network of rs6000's running AIX 3.2. I've never tried any ntp before. Once I understand how to configure and run it I hope to use it for all the rs6000's and Sparc's on this isolated local network. I turned on REFCLOCK and LOCAL_CLOCK and compiled with no problems. Set up config files on Machine A and Machine B. MACHINE A | Machine B server 127.127.1.1 # Machine A | server 147.90.8.40 # Machine A peer 147.90.8.41 # Machine B | peer 147.90.8.41 # Machine B driftfile /etc/ntp.drift | driftfile /etc/ntp.drift I execute xntpd on both machines but don't seem to be getting any valid data from Machine A to Machine B. I turned on DEBUG and get lots of output including the message "invalid packet header 147.90.8.40 26" on Machine B. I could really use some help. Any ideas? I'm also having trouble understanding what the content of the key file is to look like, how to generate it and how to respond to those prompts for Keyid and Password that the xntpdc makes.
