mmhmmm, I have done some more "experiments" on my local net and had
some rather confusing results. I kept the HP as the main time server with
a config like this:

	broadcast 192.168.1.255 version 3
	authenticate no

Doing 'ntpdate ford' (that's the HP) gave 'no suitable timeservers found'
Then I tried to reverse the roles, i.e. FreeBSD as main time server with
	
	broadcast 192.168.1.255 version 3
	disable auth
	
Again, no go on neither an HP-UX nor another FreeBSD client. When running
'xntpd' with the client config

	server wowbagger version 3
	broadcastclient yes
	authenticate no

and debug flags on the HP I keep getting output like this:

	transmit to 192.168.1.161
	input_handler: fd=14 length 48 from c0a801a1 192.168.1.161
	receive from 192.168.1.161
	poll_update(192.168.1.161, 6, 1)
	invalid packet header 192.168.1.161 20

An 'ntpdate ucsd.ucsd.edu' (as suggested) worked fine... But now
'xntpd' refuses to start - as in the beginnig of this whole thing. The
only traces I find is the following in /var/log/messages

   xntpd version=3.4e (beta multicast);  Tue Sep 15 02:26:00 CEST 1998 (1)  
   tickadj = 5, tick = 10000, tvu_maxslew = 495

Now I'm quite stranded ;) Is the above of any use to those with more
knowledge ? 

MTIA,
Marc
