SCO Unix time server

[kralj]

Hi.

I have a bunch of (very old) servers with SCO 5.0.6 (or earlier). Now I need to configure every one of them to be time servers (so that Thin Clients, which are connected to them, can syncronize to them).
So, please, how to configure /etc/ntp.conf file, and how to start ntpd daemon?

Thanks.
Matija

Thanks PHV, you sure were quick.
It helped a lot.

Still, I have problems. I started ntp, as was recomended, and I get:

# ps -ef|grep ntp
    root   334     1  0 13:31:08       ?    00:00:00 ntpd -g
    root   633   591  2 13:38:10   ttyp0    00:00:00 grep ntp
# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
*LOCAL(1)        LOCAL(1)         3 l   11   64  177    0.000    0.000   0.000

So, ntp started OK, right?

But, when I try to syncronize a Windows machine to the above machine, a get an error, and when I try to syncronize Linux machine, I get

pu10678:~ # ntpdate -u 172.16.250.15
 5 Sep 13:38:00 ntpdate[16523]: no server suitable for synchronization found

It seems than machines can't syncronize to the SCO machine I configured. Why?
