|
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize a computer's time with another reference time source.
|
|
The ntp package contains utilities and daemons which will synchronize your computer's time to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via the NTP protocol and NTP servers.
|
|
Ntp includes ntpdate (a program for retrieving the date and time from remote machines via a network) and ntpd (a daemon which continuously adjusts system time).
|
|
|
|
Install the ntp package if you need tools for keeping your system's time synchronized via the NTP protocol.
