I configured a machine (running Solaris 10) as NTP client as follows:


I created a file /etc/inet/ntp.conf
the file contains:
server <ip-address of NTP server>


I enables NTP:
svcadm enable network/ntp


The time is synchronized with the NTP-server.


That's how it should work. Type `ntpq -p' on that machine to see how
it's doing. You can also put more than one server name in the
ntp.conf file.


However, when I modify the time/date with 'date' the time is never
resynchronized again automatically (unless I reboot the machine of
course).


Why did you do that? NTP expects that only it changes the time.
You could disable and enable it again, but why do that?

I guess some people want to see ntpd correct the time!
