What is the most sensible way to synchronize the time in a mid-size
OpenVMS farm today ?

- Use NTP everywhere and forget the rest ?
- Use DTSS with an NTP time provider ?
- Synchronize time on internet time server ?
- Use a radio time source ?

The installation I speak about is made of about 20 systems, some
clustered, some not. Mix Alpha/Itanium. And surrounded by a much
larger population of Unix and Windows systems.

What are other people over here doing ?

Our central router uses NTP from a primary source. All other hosts use NTP to
get the time from this router.
