NTP is Network Time Protocol. It exists on both Solaris and Linux but is not started by default so it must be started using following procedure:

Solaris

1. login to clon01 as root

2. Create file /etc/inet/ntp.conf (see example)

3. svcadm enable network/ntp - starts the xntp daemon; check it:

4. svcs | grep ntp

online 16:29:30 svc:/network/ntp:default

5. ntpq -p

    remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset    disp

1. Create file /etc/ntp.conf

2. /etc/init.d/ntpd start

Starting ntpd: [ OK ]

3. /etc/init.d/ntpd status

ntpd (pid 15598) is running...

4. ntpq -p

    remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

5. To start service at boot:

      1. chkconfig --add ntpd (normally linux has it already)

chkconfig --level 3 ntpd on chkconfig --level 4 ntpd on chkconfig --level 5 ntpd on chkconfig --list ntpd (last command prints: ntpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off)
