+This file hopefully describes the whatever and however of how to get xntp
+running on hpux 8.0 and later s300, s700, and s800.  
+
+First off,  all the standard disclaimers hold here ... HP doesn't have anthing
+to do with this stuff.  I fool with it in my spare time because we use it and
+because I like to.  We just happen to have a lot of HP machines around here :-)
+Xntp has been in use here for several months and has a fair amount of mileage
+on various HP platforms within the company.  I can't really guarantee bug fixes
+but I'd certainly like to hear about bugs and I won't hestitate to look at
+any fixes sent to me.  
+
+Now lets talk OS.  If you don't have 8.0 or later, pretty much hang it up now.
+This stuff has run here on 8.0 s300, s700, and s800.  Its possible that it 
+runs on 7.0 but I have not tried v3 code on 7.0 at all.
+
+[Note that recent reports state that this release does in fact run on HP
+300 and 400 boxes, which run 7.0 - Ed.]
+
+Next, let me explain a bit about how this stuff works on HP-UX since we don't
+have adjtime(2).  The directory adjtime contains libadjtime.a and the adjtimed
+daemon.  Instead of the adjtime(2) system call, we use a library routine to
+talk to adjtimed thru message queues.  Adjtimed munges into /dev/kmem and
+causes the clock to skew properly as needed.  PLEASE NOTE that the adjtime
+code provided here is NOT a general replacement for adjtime(2) ... use of
+this adjtime(3)/adjtimed(8) other than here may yield very odd results.
+
+What to do to get this stuff running ?
+
+    * cd ..
+	* Say "make makeconfig"
+
+    * cd ..
+	* Say "make", sit back for a few minutes.
+
+    * cd authstuff
+	* Say "./authcert < certdata" and check the output.  Every line should
+	  end with "OK" ... if not, we got trouble.
+	* Now try "./authspeed auth.samplekeys".  What we want to 
+	  remember here is the "authentication delay in CPU time" 
+
+    * cd ..
+	* Now we need to install this stuff ... make install will not work
+	  unless you have replaced the SYSV install command with a BSD
+	  compatible version.  So ... the simplest thing to do is run
+	  make -n install and do manually what it would have done.
+
+    * I'd suggest reading the xntp docs about now :-) ... seriously !!
+
+    * Check out the docs and the stuff in xntp/conf and build a config
+      file ... put it in /usr/local/etc/xntp.conf (or where ever you
+      defined the config file to be in Config).  One thing we have 
+      added to this version of xntpd is a way to select config files
+      if you are sharing /usr/local thru NFS or whatever.  If the 
+      file /usr/local/etc/xntp.conf happens to be a directory, the files
+      in that directory are searched until a match is found.  The rules
+      for a match are:
+
+	1. Our hostname
+	2. default.<machine id> (as in default.375 or default.850)
+	3. default
+
+    * Ok, make sure adjtimed is running (just start it up for now with
+      "/usr/local/etc/adjtimed").  Using -z as an option will get you 
+      a usage message.
+
+    * Now start up xntpd and watch it work.
+
+    * Make sure that adjtimed gets started at boot right before xntpd.
+      We do this in /etc/netbsdsrc.  They must both run as root !!
+
+Possible problems ?
+
+    * On some 320's and 835's we have had to run adjtimed with "-p 45" or
+      so to get rid of syslog messages about "last adjust did not finish".
+
+Anything else ... just drop me a line at ken@sdd.hp.com
