sol10, xntpd, slewalways, hwclock

hi,

We are running Solaris 10, that is xntp as an ntp client.

Our Oracle RAC admins require the use of the "slewalways yes" option in
ntp.conf. But after a reboot the servers clocks are showing different
times, and because of the slewalways option the clocks are being synced
up only slowly.

On linux I would set the time synced up with ntpd to the hardware's
clock with the "hwclock" command - how do I do something like that on a
Sun?

And: Without slewalways will the clock be really step-synced? Isn't it
still slew'd without this option and only stepped if a large time
difference is found?

any help is appreciated,

charlie
