    You might consider using xntpd (ntp) on the AIX side. /etc/ntp.conf - put
    the IP address of the VMS side. Then startsrc -s xntpd

    We have a time server set up on a IBM mainframe running VM. All of our PCs
    synch their clocks to the mainframe. We want to do this with our Notes
    server (AIX 5L) as well. I've started timed, but it does not seem to find
    the mainframe as a time server. I've used timedc to try to elect the
    mainframe as the master time server - I don't get any errors, but the Notes
    server still does not synch its clock. When I try to request the time
    difference between the two machines using timedc, I get a valid response
    back from the mainframe and it shows the correct time difference. When I
    try to find the master time server with timedc I get a "communication
    error" message. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work?

    Thanks,
