Network Time Protocol - sntp client

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. sntp can be used as an SNTP client to query a NTP or SNTP server and either display the time or set the local system's time. It is not sufficient, however, for maintaining an accurate clock in the long run.

Network Time Protocol daemon and utility programs

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 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".
