NTP gets disabled

Hi experts,

I am using solaris10 operating system on a N240 Sun server. I have a problem on NTP, that is, i am using an external ntp server and when i enable ntp instance via smf, it works for a while then it gets disabled.. Here these are the info:

1) I enable the ntp service:

Code:
# svcadm enable svc:/network/ntp:default
# svcs -xv svc:/network/ntp:default
svc:/network/ntp:default (Network Time Protocol (NTP))
 State: online since January 30, 2012 01:55:41 PM UTC
   See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M xntpd
   See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M ntpdate
   See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M ntpq
   See: /var/svc/log/network-ntp:default.log
Impact: None.

Code:
# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset    disp
==============================================================================
 172.30.0.8      192.168.97.18    2 u   35   64    1     1.88   -3.260 15875.0
 172.30.0.1      192.168.97.18    2 u   34   64    1     1.77   -3.235 15875.0

2)Then I notice that it is disabled in a while:

# /var/opt/NTP> svcs -xv svc:/network/ntp:default
svc:/network/ntp:default (Network Time Protocol (NTP))
State: disabled since January 30, 2012 01:57:44 PM UTC
Reason: Disabled by an administrator.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M xntpd
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M ntpdate
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M ntpq
See: /var/svc/log/network-ntp:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.

3) And when i check the statistics file:

Code:
# /var/opt/NTP> cat ntpstatspeerstatistics_log
55956 50142.618 172.30.0.8 9014 -0.003260 0.00188 15.87502
55956 50143.618 172.30.0.1 9014 -0.003235 0.00177 15.87502
55956 50206.618 172.30.0.8 9014 -0.002708 0.00180 7.87529
55956 50207.618 172.30.0.1 9014 -0.002652 0.00179 7.87531

- I wonder why it gets dsabled ? waiting for your inputs...

There has to be a cron job or some other periodic script that turns off ntp. Unless you are talking about a zone. The global zone should run ntp.
