Hi,

I'm trying to configure NTP on Solaris 8 but I can't seem to find the solution to my problem.....

I have managed to sync a Solaris 8 machine with our NT time server by adding the relevent entry into the ntp.conf file but my success seems to stop there. I'm told I'll need an ntp.drift file and a broadcast IP address to tell the other clients to take their time from this (Solaris) machine.

My questions are as follows;

1) How do I configure this ntp.drift file (I already have an entry for it in ntp.conf but it doesn't seem to update)?
2) How do I configure a client so it wont act in the same way as a server machine?

Thanks for your help!
