First I would check that I use the same TZ on both the NTP server and the client. Second I would use the logfile and/or tracefile options of xntpd to get information from the subsystem directly as the errpt entry is not very helpful here. Then I would check:
- Does the same error happen when using xntpd with step instead of slew? (No -x option)
- Does it make a difference if you change the subsystem with chssys and then just issue an starsrc -s xntpd?
- Are there any network problems between NTP server and client?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to make sure that the slewing option in solaris 10 is on. From the man page I believe I had to add "slewalways yes" to the ntp.conf file and restart the service, but I don't know if its has gone into effect or not.
