which xntp (solaris version or the latest version) should be used

Post by Alex Sau-Leung L » Sat, 13 Jun 1998 04:00:00



  We have been using xntp for a long time and it is running fine.
  Now we are migrating to solaris 2.6 and We know that solaris 2.6
  shipped with a version of xntpd.

  However, it seems the shipped xntpd is based on a rather old
  version of xntpd.

  Which xntpd should we use ?  Get and compile the latest version or
  use the shipped version ?

  Any comments are appreciated.

Same goes for any other SUN  Vs. Public Domain utility such as

SUN  tar  Vs.  GNU tar  or
SUN sendmail Vs. PD sendmail

You have to decide what's best for you. If you are comfortable
with using PD version of xntp, go ahead.
If you want SUN support, then  use SUN xntp.

Just my $0.002,

1. Q: How do I get from the latest stable kernel version to the latest prepatch version ?

Thanks.
It just struck me odd that the latest is 2.4.2 while the prepatches were
2.4.3 so I figured there must be something I missed in between (my logic
told me that a 2.4.3 patch would be against a 2.4.3 something ;-).

BTW, I haven't seen any announcements from Linus in this mailing list
regarding new versions, just the updates on the web site and Alan's release
notes saying he's merging with 2.4.3xx. Are those announcements being posted
somewhere else now ?
