Are you running Solaris 2.6 and NTP?
I had problems at Lehman. In fact, I had to give up on the PD NTP
source and use Sun's NTP. Even then, I found that there was quite a bit
of clock drift and the Suns sometimes would not sync. I have also heard
that Sun has messed up the PLL code in the kernel in 2.6, but I cannot
confirm that.
