z/OS cannot be an NTP client. However, you can use STP (which is not NTP!) to maintain the clock on the z and then use z/OS as your NTP server for the rest of your systems. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
