Hello, Context : Digital UNIX V3.2C DECnet 3.2A The DECdns documentation states that DECdts and DECdns actually depend on each other. DECdts uses DECdns as a networkwide registry for global time servers that synchronize system clocks in the network. In the DECdts documentation, they explain how to interoperate NTP and DECdts. Nowwhere it is explained that you can use NTP instead DECdts excepted for DECnet-ULTRIX systems previous to Version 5.0 may use the Internet Network Time Protocol (NTP) for time synchronization because DECdts was not available. Question : Can we use NTP instead DECdts ? Regards, Charles.

| 1430.1 | Must use DTSS - can "bridge" to NTP | BULEAN::OLSON | Tue Feb 25 1997 13:33 | 8 | |
The answer is no, DECnet does not have the ability to use NTP in
place of DTSS. What can be done on Unix systems is to run NTP and
DTSS and "connect" the two using the sample ntp provide routine
that comes with the DTSS kit.
