I believe that creating the configuration file is YOUR responsibility. You are also responsible for the contents of the file and for creating any directories required. It's not terribly difficult! server system1.domain1 server system2.domain2 server system3.domain3 server system4.domain4 where systemN.domainM is the fully qualified domain name of an NTP server or the IP address in "dotted decimal" of an NTP server. There are other things you can put in there but at least one server statement is required. Four server statements are required for the minimum "robust" configuration. The online documentation explains this in sufficient detail to get you started. You can put this file anywhere you like but if you don't use the default location of /etc/inet/ntp.conf you must tell ntpd where to find it. It must be in a file system that is mounted and available when ntpd starts. There is also considerable good advice to be found in the online docs and the "user supported" documentation.
