For Starting NTP on Solaris:
- Logon to the server using root.
- Now go to /etc/inet/
- Rename ntp.client to ntp.conf
- Now edit ntp.conf and replace multicastclient 224.0.1.1 with server ip-of-your-winntp-server

# ident "@(#)ntp.client 1.3 00/07/17 SMI" # # /etc/inet/ntp.client # # An example file that could be copied over to /etc/inet/ntp.conf; it # provides a configuration for a host that passively waits for a server # to provide NTP packets on the ntp multicast net. # server ip-of-your-winntp-server #multicastclient 224.0.1.1 |
- Search for the NTP service using svcs -a | grep ntp
