TCP/IP Services as NTP time server?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I have the need to synchronize an Alpha 2100, with a cluster made up with
another Alpha 2100 and an Alpha 4100.
As I cannot stop the system until not having all proven, I made some tests
between an AlphaServer 400 (acting like server) and
one PC (acting like client).
All the Alpha machines have OpenVMS 6.2-1H3 with an UCX version:
 
"DEC TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS AXP Version V3.3 - ECO Level 7"
 
I configured the NTP server in the following way:
 
"local-master 10"
 
Also I proved adding:
 
"server 127.127.1.1"
 
nevertheless when running the client, I obtain the following result:
 
"Time server clock was last synchronized on Thursday, February 07, 2036
03:28:16"
 
"Server Date & Time: Tuesday, January 01, 1972 13:39:39"
 
Why I do not see the real date and time of the server ?
Lack something in the configuration file (UCX$NTP.CONF)?
 
 
 
Thank you in advance
