There seems to be a noticeable timer drift on my Ultra Sparc IIi running
Solaris 2.6. I am trying to get a periodicity of 100 millisecs but ever
so often there is a drift of upto 10 ms.
Any views??

I am looking into setting up NTP on a couple of servers that I run together
for load balancing. I am also running Sol. 2.6 but did not find ntpd in the
os. I have done a full load plus OEM support but I still do not see it. Am
I reading your message wrong that ntpd is bundled w/ Solaris or do you mean
that ntpd has been ported to Sol. 2.6.
I am also a little confused as far as the configuration. From what I read
the docs only talk about setting up a clock server. What if I only want to
clock off of a secondary server.

Easy, just put the pointer in ntp.conf.Quote:>I am also a little confused as far as the configuration. From what I read

That is /etc/inet/ntp.conf (SysV filesystem layout), and the packageQuote:> >I am also a little confused as far as the configuration. From what I read

Hi,
NTPD is in there on stock Solaris 2.6, as 'xntpd'. Also, while the
docs may seem to talk primarily about setting up a new reference clock,
that's only because there are so many ways to do that wrong. Just
create an /etc/inet/ntp.conf file and start up xntpd. A simple one,
creating a secondary server, with the multicast client turned off,
might read like:
enable monitor
driftfile /var/ntp/ntp.drift
server w.x.y.z
server p.q.r.s
logconfig +syncall +sysall +peerall
filegen peerstats type day enable
filegen loopstats type day enable
The last 3 lines are just about logging and can be omitted if you don't
wnat history of how you did. All of this is in the man pages under
xntpd
ntpdate
Good luck,

xntpd is a older version of ntp and it does not provide support for the
bancomm IRIG-B card.
