One other question. How would the other servers get the time, via a socket
connection on port 123? Or another method?

Yes, it's a TCP/IP connection on that port.

Thanks Mark. This is what I was looking for.
I found this in an IBM presentation:
NTP server becomes the single time source (External Time Source (ETS)) for STP,
as well as other non-System z servers (UNIX®, Windows NT®, other) that have
NTP clients
Off to read up on the IP SNTP server

Hi,
I am doing reading on STP, based on a request to see if the z10 could be used
as a time source for distributed servers. I thought at one time (not sure),
there was an address space that could run on the mainframe for this purpose. I
do not remember if it was an IBM tool, or free software. Can someone jump
start, while I review the white papers and presentations I have found. Can this
be done?
Thanks,
Dean

TCP/IP has an NTP server that your distributed servers can connect to as their
time source.
EZZ9602I SNTP SERVER INITIALIZING
EZZ9600I SNTP SERVER READY
//SNTPD EXEC PGM=SNTPD,REGION=4096K,TIME=NOLIMIT,
// PARM='POSIX(ON),ALL31(ON),TRAP(OFF)/ -d'
