In my network there is NTP Server which works for other machines.
Im trying to set up ntp client on my Solaris 10 machine.

I have already found link HOW-TO: http://learning-solaris.com/unix-sol...an-ntp-client/

but it seems not working for me.

My /etc/inet/ntp.conf looks like this:

Code:

#multicastclient 224.0.1.1

ntpdate -b 1192.168.1.18

When I start:

Code:

# svcadm -v enable svc:/network/ntp

network/ntp enabled.

Then checking is NTPd is running it gives me back only this:

Code:

 

bash-3.00# pgrep -lf ntp

26341 /usr/lib/inet/xntpd

system data is not changing.
But if I stop /etc/inet/ntp.conf to disable state and execute:

Code:

ntpdate -m 1192.168.1.18

then system time will be changed.

The problem is that I want to have NTPd which should look after system time and sync. it to server time.

(Ofcoutse I can do workarount placing "ntpdate -m 1192.168.1.18" to a crontab... but it should be done by NTPd, shouldnt it ?)
