What you are referring to as the "freeware ntpd" is actually The NTP Reference Implementation from The NTP Project at the University of Delaware. This is the original, and definitive, implementation of NTP. The NTP Project home-page is http://www.ntp.org/ > rather than xntpd that is built into Solaris 8. The "xntpd" in Solaris 8 is based on NTP 3.x from The NTP Project and uses NTP Protocol version 3. This version of NTP is no longer maintained by The NTP Project. The current releases of The NTP Reference Implementation utilize NTP Protocol version 4 and include many refinements, enhancements, and bug fixes not present in earlier releases. The current releases are: * Stable: ntp-4.2.4p7 2009/05/18 * Development: ntp-dev-4.2.5p195 2009/07/27 -- Steve Kostecke <koste...@ntp.org> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
