Package: ntp-doc Source: ntp Priority: optional Section: doc Installed-Size: 2075 Maintainer: Debian NTP Team Architecture: all Version: 1:4.2.8p3+dfsg-8~standard Filename: pool/main/n/ntp/ntp-doc_4.2.8p3+dfsg-8~standard_all.deb Size: 1291596 MD5sum: 3a5988c084a94e2230359676e9acb5ed SHA1: baad0e108fb9e1a5729346909423cdac7ead8b25 SHA256: 38980b0fd78d530b7ca739a6ebd35007c6694fd751c7e46a47826734099ecaf4 Description: Network Time Protocol documentation NTP, the Network Time Protocol, is used to keep computer clocks accurate by synchronizing them over the Internet or a local network, or by following an accurate hardware receiver that interprets GPS, DCF-77, NIST or similar time signals. . This package contains HTML documentation for the ntp packages (ntp, ntpdate). Since there are no substantive man pages for ntp's programs and configuration files, this package is desirable for any setup beyond the simple default configuration.

This package contains the NTP daemon and utility programs. An NTP daemon needs to be running on each host that is to have its clock accuracy controlled by NTP. The same NTP daemon is also used to provide NTP service to other hosts. . For more information about the NTP protocol and NTP server configuration and operation, install the package "ntp-doc".

It is not sufficient, however, for maintaining an accurate clock in the long run. ntpdate by itself is useful for occasionally setting the time on machines that do not have full-time network access, such as laptops. . If the full NTP daemon from the package "ntp" is installed, then ntpdate is not necessary.
