Use ntp, not rdate

Just as i saw it in a blog on blogs.oracle.com (not link here) and my comment isn’t published there: I wouldn’t use rdate for syncing time between servers. rdate is largely considered as totally obsolete (installing pkg:/network/legacy-remote-utilities should tell you something just by the red part of the name of the package) and using ntp is really easy and has a much better mechanism to get time synced . I wrote a tutorial about that quite a while ago: “Configuring an NTP client in Solaris 11”
