Symptoms:
	PHNE_28002:
	Ported HP-UX patch PHNE_24510 to VVOS.

	Based on  HP-UX patch PHNE_24510:
	JAGae26628 / SR 8606262293:
	xntpd can cause performance problem.

	PHNE_24076:
	Ported HP-UX patch PHNE_23717 to VVOS.

	Based on  HP-UX patch PHNE_23717:
	JAGad58537 / SR 8606189322:
	Description: xntpd core dumps.

	JAGad14276 / SR 8606144936:
	Description: xntpd -x does step instead of slew.

	Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_19710:
	1.The NTP clock driver for the HP58503 GPS receiver does
	  not recognize the leap day in the years: 2000, 2400,
	  2800, etc. As a result, if the HP58503 GPS receiver is
	  the *ONLY* source for NTP time synchronization on the
	  leap day in the years 2000, 2400, 2800, etc, the system
	  will revert to only using the system internal clock as
	  its source of time. If other time sources are available
	  they will continue to be used for synchronization.
	2.When filegen is configured to use the day or month, the
	  NTP filegen option does not correctly generate the proper
	  name for the optional statistics file on the leap day of
	  any leap year.
	3.xntpd creates /var/adm/wtmp if it does not exist.
	4.xntpd daemon does not accept the -l command line
	  option.
	5.ntpdate requires an undocumented additional parameter
	  for option -o.
	6.The clock driver for Trimble Palisade GPS is not
	  supported.

	PHNE_16513:
	Ported portions of HP-UX patch PHNE_12689 to VVOS.

	Based on PHNE_12689:
	When xntpd is started in /sbin/init.d/xntpd using a
	method which removes sysops from its base privileges
	(using epa) the syslog shows messages:
	        "Can't do time adjustment: Not owner"

	Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_12689:
	  -/usr/sbin/xntpd does not slew the time when the
	    adjustment is greater than 128 milliseconds

	Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_11019:
	  -ntpdate slews the time instead of stepping
	  -not all clocks work properly
	  -client/test programs missing:
	  --xntpdc
	  --ntptrace
	  --authspeed
	  --authcert

	Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_9056:
	  -time is unstable for hours or days after startup when no
	    radio clock is present

	  -does not support HP GPS clock
	  -xntpd daemon does not accept the option "-l"
	  -ntpdate usage statement has a typo in it
	  -kill script fails to exit cleanly when daemon not running

Defect Description:
	PHNE_28002:
	Ported HP-UX patch PHNE_24510 to VVOS.

	Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_24510:
	JAGae26628 / SR 8606262293:
	xntpd can cause performance degradation under
	certain circumstances.

	Resolution  : The performance problem is now fixed.

	PHNE_24076:
	Ported HP-UX patch PHNE_23717 to VVOS.

	Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_2373:

	JAGad58537 / SR 8606189322:
	Description: xntpd core dumps with SIGSEGV.
	Resolution: Now xntpd does not core dump.

	JAGad14276 / SR 8606144936:
	Description: xntpd -x was slewing in one direction only. In
	the other direction it was stepping instead of slewing.
	Resolution: Now xntpd -x slews for backward as well as for
	forward clock adjustment.

	Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_19710:
	1.The NTP clock driver for the HP58503 GPS receiver does
	  not recognize the leap day in the years: 2000, 2400,
	  2800, etc. As a result, if the HP58503 GPS receiver is
	  the *ONLY* source for NTP time synchronization on the
	  leap day in the years 2000, 2400, 2800, etc, the system
	  will revert to only using the system internal clock as
	  its source of time. If other time sources are available
	  they will continue to be used for synchronization.
	2.When filegen is configured to use the day or month, the
	  NTP filegen option does not correctly generate the proper
	  name for the optional statistics file on the leap day of
	  any leap year.
	3.xntpd was creating /var/adm/wtmp file if it did not
	  exist. As per the wtmp manpage, no application should
	  create /var/adm/wtmp file if it does not exist.
	4.Though the xntpd manpage says -l option is supported,
	  xntpd does not start if -l command line option is used.
	5.The manpage for ntpdate incorrectly showed -o option
	  did not require a parameter while it needs a parameter.
	6.The clock driver for Trimble Palisade GPS is not
	  supported.

	Resolution:
	1.All the clock drivers that HP-UX NTP supports now
	  correctly check the year to be leap.
	2.NTP now creates file on 29-Feb with correct file name
	  when filegen option is used with type day or month.
	3.xntpd checks for the /var/adm/wtmp file to exist. If
	  it exists it opens it but if it does not exist
	  it does not create it.
	4.xntpd now recognizes the -l option.
	5.The manpage is modified to reflect the mandatory
	  parameter that is to be given if -o option is used.
	6.The clock driver for Trimble Palisade GPS is now included.
	  The HP Supported clocks are now:
	        Undisciplined Local Clock  (driver#1)  (last resort)
	        Spectracom Netclock/2 WWVB (driver#4)
	        HP58503 GPS                (driver#26)
	        Trimble Palisade GPS       (driver#29)

	PHNE_16513:
	Ported portions of PHNE_12689 to VVOS.
	        xntpd fails to raise the sysops privilege before
	        attempting an adjtime() call.

	Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_12689:
	  Some customers have requested this special behavior
	  where the time daemon never makes a step adjustment.

	Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_11019:
	  Latest patch adds optional features and concrete examples

	Based on HP-UX patch PHNE_9056:
	  The version of NTP that is shipped with all HP-UX 10.x
	  releases is based on v3.1.  The latest v3.5 included in
	  this patch has many improvements in accuracy, precision,
	  and functionality.
