[OpenIndiana-discuss] NTP not starting in Zones

[Jonathan Adams]

strange, I prefer to run all my daemons in a zone as it keeps them separate
from the core operating system, and reduces the access to resources.

it's easy for a global zone to access the resources of the child, it's hard
for the child to access the global zone.
