I thought I would repost my question. 

I have just compiled xntp and created a simple ntp.conf file in /etc.
However when I run it, it just seems to quit.  It doesn't seem to hang around
like I thought daemons should.  Doing a ps -ax shows no xntpd.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?  The compile worked fine (after I remaked
with the NODNS and NO_SIGNED_CHAR and LITTLE on the re untarred files), yet
apparently nothing is happening.  

I am running on a SUN 386i with SunOs 4.0.2.   My ntp binaries are in 
/usr/local/etc.  

Am I supposed to put xntpd in my /etc/inetd.conf file?  I found a reference
to it in the /etc/services file that gives its name and 23/tcp but
that's it.  From what I read in the docs it seems that it should run 
directly from the command line.

I would really appreciate some help.
