8800.0. "Is a bug of 4.0A" by HGOM22::DAVYSUN () Wed Feb 12 1997 03:56

    According to the man page about ntp_manual_setup,I set up a server
    running Unix 4.0A aas a local time source.
    
    But when I reboot or restart the network,there is always a error
    
    message like the following:
    
    Setting kernel timezone variable
    Setting the current time and date with ntpdate
    Ntpdate failed.
    
    
    Is this a bug of Unix 4.0A?

    	If your system is a ntp-server, what hardware is supplying a
    precision Time-of-Day clock?  When I set-up ntp on several of the
    Alpha PC systems my group tests, I chose the ntp-peer method since
    no system had a precision clock.  Perhaps, when you specify server,
    it's looking for a precision ToD source.  Try three or four peers
    and see if you get the same error.  I've had no problem using 
    peers running 4.0, 4.0A, and/or 4.0B.
