lulu,

Nothing at all will happen in your NTP network until the server, that
is System A,
is synchronized (as indicated by a "*" in the first column of the ntpq
billboard).
Systems B and C will not take their time from System A until System A
indicates
that it's sysnchronized.

In order for System A to synchronize, it must have a time source to
sync to.
In your case, this will probably be localclock. You'll need an ntp.conf
file
something like

   server 127.127.1.1
   fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 10
   driftfile /etc/inet/ntp.drift
