# svcs |grep ftp

blank humm?

# svcadm -v enable ftp
svc:/network/ftp:default enabled.
#  svcs|grep ftp
online          9:06:54 svc:/network/ftp:default

It seams to work even though it is not listed.

You need to start by editing the /etc/inet/ntp.conf file

# cat /etc/inet/ntp.conf
# define driftfile
driftfile /etc/inet/ntp.drift

# define servers:
server pool.ntp.org
server pool.ntp.org

#
# define peers:
peer ntpb.server.comany.com
peer ntpc.server.comany.com

Now you need to start up the ntp deamon.

Below is how you would do it in soalris 10.

root@server#svcadm enable ntp
root@server#svcs |grep ntp
online 13:35:01 svc:/network/ntp:default

[root@server# ps -ef|grep ntp
root 1459 1188 0 13:37:23 console 0:00 grep ntp
root 1393 1 0 13:35:01 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/inet/xntpd

You can also check the status using ntpq command at the command line.  There are many other useful commands that can be used for ntpq, which you can see by issuing the command help.

Other wise use the approate /etc/init.d/ntpd  script

Some important notes to keep in mind when setting up ntp.

If the accuracy of a clock becomes too insufficient (off by more than about 17 minutes), NTP aborts the NTP daemon, with the assumption that something has gone wrong with either the client or server. In order to synchronize well with a server, the client needs to avoid step adjustments.1

Which means if you clock is more then 17 minutes off when settign up NTP you should set it by hand first because NTP gets angry if it is off by more then 17 seconds

# svcs|grep ssh
online Aug_15 svc:/network/ssh:default

# svcadm disable ssh

# svcadm enable ssh

or just
# svcadm restart ssh
