I have access to a number of older versions of solaris for build testing. I have no idea now many people are running on these older OSes, but if there was a problem I believe I would have heard about it. Joseph> What's the story for IBM's AIX? I have access to some AIX boxes for build testing. I generally do not have access to these boxes for runtime testing. One of the goals of the NTP Forum is to produce a diverse operational ntp build and test farm. This goal will be realized if a sufficient number of organizations join the NTP Forum. >> > Version 3 is AT LEAST six years old. V4.something is current.

I have platforms where I only use native compilers and not gcc. Again, these are build platforms, not operational test platforms. And again, if there was a problem I believe I would have heard about it. -- Harlan Stenn <[email protected]> http://ntpforum.isc.org - be a member! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
