Question : Time synchronization with SCO OpenServer

I am trying to use timed to synch the time on servers for multiple networks.  We are running SCO OpenServer Release 5 with Efficient SpeedStream routers connecting 100+ restaurants to a corporate server.  The netmask is the same for each restaurant, but the broadcast address varies based on the server IP address.  If I set up servers on the same network (either corporate or restaurants connected to the same router) I don't have a problem.  If I run timedc msite, I get the error that time daemon is not running on the restaurant server.  I can see it with ps -ef and I have checked the hostnames.

How can I get this to work across the networks?

Answer : Time synchronization with SCO OpenServer

Timed is designed to run on a single local network and doesn't do any synchronizing with external clocks. No common broadcast address -> no common network.
SCO Openserver 5 should have the xntpd daemon which is the SCO-version of ntp. Use that.
