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.
