SUMMARY time synchronisation

Hi experts

Last week I asked if there is any possibility to synchronize the time
of our OSF/1 machines to the clock of our VMS cluster.

The solution seems to be that we set up our VMS cluster as a ntp server. NTP is a TCP/IP time synchronization protocol which is included in several
different third party TCP/IP products for VMS.

I knew that ntp can be used in UNIX environments, but had no idea that NTP also
can be used on a VAX. So I will try to implement this ntp/xntp (well me ->
our VMS crack).

Another proposal was, that we could sync with Internet NTP or put a DCF77
in a Linux and serve ntp from there.

Many thanks to all who responded:

I want thank you all for your help, also with my previous problems. In short
time, I will change to the USA for further studies at SEAS at the George
Washington University in Washington DC. If anyone is near DC, you are
very welcome at any time after Aug 1995. My e-mail adress will be something
like haeni_at_seas.gwu.edu
