  NTP configuration and startup problems? 
 The Question is:
 
NTP won't go enabled on VMS 7.3 Alpha
 
What can keep NTP from running? I am running OpenVMS Alpha 7.3, TCPIP Services
 v5.3 eco 4, and I can't get NTP to go enabled. I Upgraded to 7.3-1 with no
 change.
 
Running the command file, TCPIP$CONFIG, I can toggle the status shown for NTP
 to ENABLED/STARTED, but when I do a TCPIP SHOW SERVICES, NTP still shows
 disabled. I have configured the time zone with SYS$MANAGER:UTC$TIME_SETUP.COM,
 and set up TCPIP$NTP.CONF
 but when I invoke NTPQ and issue a PEERS command, I get: tcpip$ntpq.exe: write
 to 127.0.0.1 failed: connection refused
 
Other tcpip functions work fine, and I can TELNET to the loopback port at
 127.0.0.1. My other 7.3 systems are working just fine.
 
 
 The Answer is :
 
  Please contact the support center, as details of the NTP configuration
  file will be required.  The usual names for this configuration file:
 
  SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$NTP]TCPIP$NTP.CONF and .TEMPLATE
