The configuration file format is Uncommitted, right? Also, you mentioned some incompatible changes. Can you list them all? Will a follow on project move more of the configuration into SMF service properties? > /usr/lib/inet/ntpd Uncomitted NTP daemon > /usr/lib/inet/ntp-wait Project Private > /usr/sbin/ntpdate Volatile The manpages for NTP in Solaris now don't state interface stability. But it seems to me that it's all as if Committed. ntpdate(1M) in particular is quite useful, though I see that its main use is being subsumed into the ntp service via the config/wait_for_sync property, I think. Also, why would ntpd have a stronger commitment than ntpdate? > /usr/sbin/ntptrace Volatile > /usr/sbin/ntpq Uncomitted > /usr/sbin/ntpdc Volatile Will there be a link for 'xntpdc'?
