[OpenIndiana-discuss] NTP not starting in Zones

[Jerry Kemp]

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but typically, I typically only set time/run NTP in the Global zone, and my observations are that, NTP in
the Global zone will take care of the GZ, HW time and everything else.

As such, I do not run NTP, or do anything else to set time, aside from configuring the TZ (time zone) in local zones.

This has generally served me well since the Solaris 10 beta's.  I wouldn't expect a local zone to be able to access the HW clock.

Am I doing this wrong?

Jerry

Hello fellow Community

Since some time I get the following error inside all my zones from ntp.

------
[ Sep 11 06:54:40 Enabled. ]
[ Sep 11 06:54:41 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/ntp start"). ]
[ Sep 11 06:54:41 svc.startd could not set context for method:  ]
setppriv: Not owner
[ Sep 11 06:54:41 Method "start" exited with status 96. ]
[ Sep 11 07:08:18 Leaving maintenance because disable requested. ]
[ Sep 11 07:08:18 Disabled. ]
[ Sep 11 15:58:33 Enabled. ]
[ Sep 11 15:58:33 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/ntp start"). ]
[ Sep 11 15:58:33 svc.startd could not set context for method:  ]
setppriv: Not owner
[ Sep 11 15:58:33 Method "start" exited with status 96. ]

Does anybody know what ntp or rather smf is complaining about?
Is ntp not suposed to be installed inside zones? If so wouldn't it make
sense to configure ntp as variant global?

Would love to hear what you know about this.
Greetings
Till
