I'm trying to get xntpd for the RISC/6000 running (from
merit.edu:/pub/xntp), but there are some problems.  I got it to compile
fine (after adding a #include <select.h> line in all of the program
files to solve an undefined fd_set error).  I'm trying to run it with a
simple configuration file now (one server).  When the daemon starts, it
logs a version message to syslog, and then dies 4-5 seconds later
without saying another word.

Also, when trying to use xntpdate to do a one-time sync, it exits with a
message "Alarm Clock" and doesn't set the time.

There is an entry for xntpd (ntp  123/udp) in the /etc/services file.  I
assume I don't need an entry for ntp in the /etc/inetd.conf.

Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

PS:  This is an RISC/6000 running AIX 3.1 at release 3002
