Configuring NTP in Solaris 10

                                  

cp /etc/inet/ntp.server /etc/inet/ntp.conf

edit the ntp.conf file.

        For an undisciplined local clock:

                change `server 127.127.XType.0`
                    to `server 127.127.1.0'
                comment out `fudge 127.127.XType.0 stratum 0`

        Syncing to an external NTP server:

                (see NTP.Servers Web for a list of public time servers)

                change `server 127.127.XType.0`
                    to `server externel time server`
                        (where externel time server is the IP or hostname of the 
                         time server you wish to sync to)

                        you may add multiple external servers here, in this format:

                        server externel time server1
                        server externel time server2
                        server externel time server3

                comment out `fudge 127.127.XType.0 stratum 0`
