Enabling NTP on Sol 10

- Create /etc/inet/ntp.conf containing
server ntp.mycompany.com
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift


- Create /etc/ntp.drift containing
0.0

- Start the NTP client
svcadm ntp enable
(Look in /etc/rc2.d on Sol 9)

I have read that Solaris NTP does not start updating until it is 10 minutes out of whack.
