Title: ntp.tcz Description: Network Time Protocol utilities Version: 4.2.6p2 Author: David L. Mills Original-site: http://www.ntp.org/ Copying-policy: OpenSource Size: 664.0K Extension_by: Daniel Barnes Tags: Network Time Protocol utilities Comments: The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source. Use /usr/local/etc/init.d/ntpd to start/stop/restart. The ntp.conf file is in /usr/local/etc. To synchronize with a GPS: 1) Read http://gpsd.berlios.de/gpsd.html#ntp 2) Start the gpsd daemon with the "-n" option. NOTE: Any time source specified in ntp.conf (GPS or otherwise) which is more than 1000s from the local time will be ignored. Use "ntpq -p" to check for synchronization. The reach column will be nonzero if a synchronization attempt was successful. Current: 2010/12/08 - Initial release
