Version 7.3 Specific Changes

What was changed with the introduction of AIX v7.3?

  • A Both ntp version 3 and version 4 commands are supported
  • B Only ntp version 4 and 5 are supported, and support for version 3 is dropped
  • C ntp version 3 was dropped and version 3 commands are links to the version 4 equivalent
  • D ntp version 3 was dropped, so version 3 commands (for example, xntp) no longer work
Explanation

Beginning with AIX 7.3, support for NTP version 3 was removed. For backward compatibility, the established command names are symbolic links to the equivalent NTP version 4 binaries, allowing commands such as xntpd to continue working.
