Re: [zones-discuss] NTP client in non-global zone

What is best practice here? Do not run {x}ntpd in the zones. Actually there is a use-case for doing so - given that it's a network-facing appliction, one might want to run xntpd in a non-global zone for isolation reasons. ___ zones-discuss mailing

Just had a look at the FAQ and found this: Q: Can a zone be an NTP server? A: Because the NTP server software also sets the time clock, which a non-global zone cannot be allowed to do, a zone cannot be an NTP server. (June 2005) What about client? If I don't enable ntp in a non-global zone,
