xntpd - doesn't start

[ogniemi]

Hello,

On 4.3.3 systems I had updated from ML10 to ML11 "xntpd" doesn't start. The log says:

Dec 4 09:04:54 spn07 xntpd[36744]: 3.4y
Dec 4 09:04:54 spn07 xntpd[36744]: tickadj = 1000, tick = 10000, tvu_maxslew = 99000

Please tell me what is the reason of it?

the /etc/ntp.conf is the same as was before system update.

OK, the port is occupied by what for?

# grep 123 /etc/services
ntp 123/tcp # Network Time Protocol
ntp 123/udp # Network Time Protocol
instsrv 1234/tcp # Network Install Service

# netstat -a|grep ntp
udp4 0 0 loopback.ntp *.*
udp4 0 0 spn07_stby.ntp *.*
udp4 0 0 spn07_boot.ntp *.*
udp4 0 0 spn07_en0.ntp *.*
udp4 0 0 *.ntp *.*

OK, I've found.

On SP environment there is started "SP version" of xntpd located here:

/usr/lpp/ssp/bin/xntpd
