Sorry it took so long to get back to you.  I have just built xntpd 3.5f
on DYNIX/ptx 4.1.3 with the SysVR4 configuration.  I just needed one
patch to get ntpdate to work (included below.)  This patch was also
needed for DYNIX/ptx 2.1.1 running xntp3.4y.

Please note:

DYNIX v.3 == 4.3BSD + optional SysVR2 emulation environment + SMP

DYNIX/ptx 2.1.x == SysVR3 + some BSD extenstions + SMP

DYNIX/ptx 4.1.x == SysVR4 + SMP
