Time client setup

Solaris 10, 9

1. Immediate synchronization with e.g.:

    
   /usr/sbin/ntpdate        de.pool.ntp.org  
   

2. copy template

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

3. The file /etc/inet/ntp.conf must contain the entries:

    
   server de.pool.ntp.org 
   driftfile /var/ntp/ntp.drift
   statsdir /var/ntp/ntpstats/
   

   and the drift file should exist and be writable:

    
   touch /var/ntp/ntp.drift
   

4. /etc/init.d/xntpd, /etc/rc2.d/S74xntpd (Solaris 8,9):
5. immediate enable/restart (Solaris 10):

    
   svcadm enable  svc:/network/ntp:default
   svcadm refresh svc:/network/ntp:default
   svcadm restart svc:/network/ntp:default
   

6. if necessary, adapt the timezone in /etc/TIMEZONE, e.g.:

   TZ=CET
