<p class="MsoNormal">Is anybody running the NPTD functionality
in Multinet 5.5 on VAX VMS 7.3 (under SIMH)? If so, how did
you get it to work. I switched it on with a simple NTP.CONF
and tried to query it. The logfile doesn’t change much and I/O
counts go up slowly. My attempts to query it usually result in
a traceback. I’m a bit concerned by the lack of an NTPDATE
command mentioned in the documentation, despite having done a
full install. The timezone facility is a bit primitive too.<o:p></o:p></p>

Works okay on multiple SIMH OpenVMS/VAX 7.3 instances. Here is what
I get:<br>

And here is my MULTINET:NTP.CONF; 10.42.0.0/24, 10.100.0.0/24 and
10.200.0.0/24 entries are my local subnets with unrestricted access.
Also I run my own public NTP servers, but any good public servers
should work. You can just have the pool entry if you want.<br>
