[SunHELP] NTP server on Solaris 8

[TomST at netins.com]

Well when I set up another machine to try and sync from my server it will not
work.  I run ntpq -p and get the following error message:

localhost: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out

So I think there may be something more that I need to do to.  I am not messing
with security at this time.  Machines are on the same lan, same network.

By server I assume you mean just to pass on the time the machine got
as a client to something with a real clock.

Just set up the client machines as you did this one but pointing to this
one as the server; there is no special setup to be a server unless you
are mucking with security.
