[Info-vax] DTSS and NTP

[Chris Townley]

I have been trying to setup NTP on E9.2-1, which was initially failing. 
However after a reboot it is now working, but in the log I get:

ntp.exe[1059]: Listening on routing socket on fd #4 for interface updates
ntp.exe[1059]: no clock adjustments will be made, DTSS is active
ntp.exe[1059]: clock adjustments will resume, DTSS no longer active

I gave up using DTSS years ago, so ayt the end of SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM I add:

$! Disable DTSS
$!
$ mcr ncl disable dtss
$ mcr ncl delete dtss

This takes a bit of time, hence the messages while it thinks about it.

I see that the DTSS startup procedures looks for a system logical 
NET$DISABLE_DTSS and if set it doesn't start DTSS

If I define this in SYLOGICALS presumably it will simply no start, then 
NTP can run from the off.

However I presume I will miss the automatic changes at BST begin/end, 
unless NTP can be made to do that.

Any thoughts?
