Service smf ntp maintenance
Hello,

My ntp service goes in maintenance mode in Solaris 11. I do "svcadm clear ntp", the service is back but after 1 minute it crashes but automatically restarted. After the third attempt it goes in maintenance again :

After the clear :
Code:
[ Oct 31 15:59:17 Leaving maintenance because clear requested. ]
[ Oct 31 15:59:17 Enabled. ]
[ Oct 31 15:59:17 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/ntp start"). ]
[ Oct 31 15:59:17 Method "start" exited with status 0. ]

1 minute later it crashes but it is restarted
Code:
[ Oct 31 16:00:19 Stopping because all processes in service exited. ]
[ Oct 31 16:00:19 Executing stop method (:kill). ]
[ Oct 31 16:00:19 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/ntp start"). ]
[ Oct 31 16:00:19 Method "start" exited with status 0. ]

1 minute later it crashes but it is restarted
Code:
[ Oct 31 16:01:21 Stopping because all processes in service exited. ]
[ Oct 31 16:01:21 Executing stop method (:kill). ]
[ Oct 31 16:01:21 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/ntp start"). ]
[ Oct 31 16:01:22 Method "start" exited with status 0. ]

1 minute later it crashes but it is restarted
Code:
[ Oct 31 16:02:24 Stopping because all processes in service exited. ]
[ Oct 31 16:02:24 Executing stop method (:kill). ]
[ Oct 31 16:02:24 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/ntp start"). ]
[ Oct 31 16:02:24 Method "start" exited with status 0. ]

1 minute later it crashes and stay in maintenance
Code:
[ Oct 31 16:03:26 Stopping because all processes in service exited. ]
[ Oct 31 16:03:26 Executing stop method (:kill). ]
[ Oct 31 16:03:26 Restarting too quickly, changing state to maintenance. ]

Can you please advise ?

Thanks,

Bob

code tags for code, please, [code]stuff[/code].

Try checking NTP's own logs to see why it's dying.

Normally ntpd logs to syslog, /var/adm/messages
Code:
grep ntpd /var/adm/messages*

Its configuration can be listed with
Code:
grep '^[^#]' /etc/inet/ntp.conf
