The current OpenSolaris released version (/release) has the older xntpd 3.5.93e, but will get the newer one when /dev rolls into /release in a couple of months. All Solaris versions from Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 10 have the 3.5.9e NTP, but Solaris 10 Update 8 (scheduled for release in two months) will have both xntpd 3.5.9e and ntpd 4.2.5 co-existing (but not both configured. One or the other please!) But the comment still stands. Solaris 8 is at End of Support Life. Nobody should deploy anything new on it, and should seriously consider moving to something much newer. Consider that Solaris 8 will have no new security patches made available for it. (At least not for free. There are some customers willing to pay a premium for continued support.)
