Hi

I have an annoying problem with ntp on AIX 5.3 TL7. This is what I
did:
1. I have enabled start of xntpd in /etc/rc.tcpip
2. /etc/ntp.conf looks like this:

server <my ntp server ip>
broadcastclient

driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
tracefile /etc/ntp.trace

3. I run ntpdate <my ntp server ip>
4. Finally, I run startsrc -s xntpd

The subsystem has started and runs just fine without a crash. The time
is correct, the date is correct, the time zone is good (I set it
earlier). There is no error regarding to xntp src. But...
The xntpd does not start after reboot. After reboot the date and time
are still correct and seem to be synchronized. But xntpd subsystem is
inoperative. After every reboot I have to start it manually. Then I
run ntpq -p and the output is like this:

remote refid st t when poll reach delay
offset disp
================================================== ============================
*x.x.x.x x.x.x.x 4 u 94 128 377 1.16 -0.367
0.12

So the offset is not the issue. After reboot there is no error in
errorlog and after starting src manually ntp runs just fine without
the crash.
Am I doing something wrong or what? Why xntpd doesn't start after
reboot? I have thi issue on all my LPARs in p595 server, firmware
version SF240_320. I will appreciate any help, thanks in advance
