How to configure NTP in AIX 4.3

Post by Corbea » Thu, 14 Dec 2000 18:39:57



Hi ,

I'm a newbie with AIX and I have to configure NTP.
Where is the ntp.conf located? And how do I start the daemon automatically?
Do I have to edit a rc script or something?

It's not to configure a timeserver, but only for synchronising with a
timeserver, so the ntp.conf is
server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
driftfile /etc/.../.../ntp.drift

Thanks a lot in advance!

You configure ntp using /etc/ntp.conf. To start the daemon
automatically, use smit xntpd. You can find out the command string from
there (which acutally changes /etc/rc.tcpip).

================================================

Also, if you don't want to fuss with starting
another daemon and configuring various files...
you can run "ntpdate hostname" where hostname
is the name of the NTP server to which you are
connecting.  Call me lazy, but I just set up this
command to run from cron once a day, say 3:00am.

to start xntpd automagically, edit the file /etc/rc.tcpip and remove
the comment from the line start xntpd, this way it will start next time
you reboot.
You can start it manually by startsrc -s xntpd

1. Newbe question - how to configure t/r to enet bridge with 43P running AIX 4.3

I am a UNIX novice.
I am attempting to bridge 2 network segments, one is token ring and
the other is ethernet.

I have a 43P running 4.3 with a t/r card and the integrated ethernet
adapter.

I have configured the tr card with the following:
smitty/communications applications and services/tcpip/minimum config
and startup/interface tr0

hostname: aixhost
internet address: 193.168.1.2
network mask: 255.255.255.0
interface: tr0

for the ethernet:
interface et0 IEEE 802.3 ethernet adapter
hostname: aixhost
internet address: 193.168.1.20
network mask: 255.255.255.0
interface et0

from the 43P I can ping other addresses on the tr network, but I
cannot ping any of the ethernet devices.  Also I cannot ping any of
the ethernet devices from any of the tr devices.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
