Ok here is my problem.
At the moment I am trying to set up one of my machine (PC104 - QNX) to act as an ntp server and I have another machine (PC104 - Linux) which shall synchronise it time to my QNX box.
At the moment I am trying to setup ntp on my QNX box.
I have the following binaries installed on ntpd , ntpdate , ntpdc , ntpq , ntptrace …
not sure if I needed all these but when I was building my QNX image on my CF card I just chucked in anything that began with ntp*
anyways I currently have an ntp.conf (path of ntp.conf is /etc/ntp/ntp.conf ). The ntp.conf file which looks like this
[color=blue]# /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for ntpd
[color=red]driftfile /tmp/lib/ntp/ntp.drift <<------- Not sure if this is correct …is this the correct path …or can it be anything
statsdir /tmp/log/ntpstats/
[color=blue]
statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats
filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable
filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable
filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable
You do need to talk to an NTP server or two (or three).
server
… and use the local system clock as a reference if all else fails
NOTE: in a local network, set the local stratum of one stable server
to 5; otherwise your clocks will drift apart if you lose connectivity.
sync to own clock if cannot connect to ntp server
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 5
By default, exchange time with everybody, but don’t allow configuration.
See /usr/share/doc/ntp-doc/html/accopt.html for details.
restrict default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery
Local users may interrogate the ntp server more closely.
restrict 127.0.0.1 nomodify
I then try to start my ntp … At the moment I am trying to synchronise my SERVER(The QNX box) NTP to an external university NTP server.
by first doing
[color=red]ntpdate
then doing
[color=red]ntpd
I then try to Monitor the NTP daemon
by doing
[color=red]ntpq
[color=red]
But the I get the error msg
ntpq: ntp/udp: unknown service 
is it a problem with my inetd.conf file ?..
which currently looks like this
[color=blue]# @(#)inetd.conf 1.23 90/01/03 SMI
Configuration file for inetd.
To re-configure the running inetd process, edit this file, then
send the inetd process a SIGHUP.
Internet services syntax:
<service_name> <socket_type> <server_pathname>
Time service is used for clock syncronization.
#time stream tcp nowait root internal
#time dgram udp wait root internal
Ftp and telnet are standard Internet services.
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd in.ftpd -l
telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/telnetd in.telnetd
Shell, login, exec are BSD protocols.
#shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/rshd in.rshd
#login stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/rlogind in.rlogind
#exec stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/rexecd in.rexecd
Tftp service is provided primarily for booting. Most sites run this
only on machines acting as “boot servers”.
#tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tftpd in.tftpd
Systat and netstat give out user information which man be
valuable to potential “system crackers.” Many sites choose to disable
some or all of these services to improve security.
#systat stream tcp nowait root /bin/ps ps -auwwx
#netstat stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/netstat netstat -f inet
IPv6 services.
The only difference with the above is “tcp6” instead of “tcp”.
Be sure to enable both “tcp” and “tcp6” when you need service for
both IPv4/v6.
#ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd -ll
telnet stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/telnetd telnetd
#shell stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/rshd rshd -L
#login stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/rlogind rlogind -L
#tftp dgram udp6 wait root /usr/sbin/tftpd tftpd -l -s /tftpboot
[color=red] I ADDED THIS — IS THIS NECESSARY & AM I DOING THIS CORRECTLY ??
ntp dgram udp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/ntpd ntpd
[color=blue]
Neutrino specific services
#pidin stream tcp nowait root /bin/pidin pidin
#pidinmem stream tcp nowait root /bin/pidin pidin mem
#pidinarg stream tcp nowait root /bin/pidin pidin arg
#pidinenv stream tcp nowait root /bin/pidin pidin env
#pidinsig stream tcp nowait root /bin/pidin pidin sig
#phrelay stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/phrelay phrelay -x
Echo, discard, daytime, and chargen are used primarily for testing.
#echo stream tcp nowait root internal
#echo dgram udp wait root internal
discard stream tcp nowait root internal
discard dgram udp wait root internal
#daytime stream tcp nowait root internal
#daytime dgram udp wait root internal
#chargen stream tcp nowait root internal
#chargen dgram udp wait root internal
I’m still new to this ntp stuff …can someone please advise me on what I am doing wrong
cheers
