System name: quickstation-zocalo.mit.edu

Display type: XFree86 3.3.6a S3
Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager: fvwm2
What were you trying to do?
See if ntp would sync
What's wrong:
it never does. Machines set up with the default
etc/ntp.conf on subnets that do have broadcast ntp on the
subnet do not sync their clocks, for example:
athena% ntptrace opus
OPUS.MIT.EDU: stratum 16, offset -2.185045, synch distance 6.08336
0.0.0.0: *Not Synchronized*
nw12-rtr-w20-ether does broadcast, seen from this solaris machine:
athena% ntptrace xcb
X15-CRUISE-BASSELOPE.MIT.EDU: stratum 3, offset -0.585607, synch distance 0.02863
NW12-RTR-W20-ETHER.MIT.EDU: stratum 2, offset -0.574281, synch distance 0.01704
GPS-1.MIT.EDU: stratum 1, offset -0.574824, synch distance 0.00603, refid 'GPS'
Linux machines that are set to talk explicitly to an ntp server sync just fine,
it seems to be only those that are listening for broadcast that are failing.
What should have happened:
The machine should sync its clock to the server that is broadcasting
ntp.
