3 AristotlePagaltzis 5 # Install the [NTP] dæmon ([Package] <tt>ntp</tt> in [Debian] and friends).
6 # Pick some [NTPServers] to synch with.
7 # If necessary, fix your system time.
8 # Start the dæmon.

13 aptitude install ntp

15 echo 'server ''nz.pool.ntp.org''~' >> /etc/ntp.conf
16 ntpdate ''nz.pool.ntp.org'' # optional
17 /etc/init.d/ntp start

20 Of course you would actually use a TextEditor to add the [NTPServers] to <tt>/etc/ntp.conf</tt>, and you would use whichever server is appropriate in place of <tt>nz.pool.ntp.org</tt>.

3 AristotlePagaltzis 22 The [ntpdate(8)] step is necessary only if your local clock is way off from the time server’s time, in which case the [NTP] dæmon may terminate. Note that even [ntpdate(8)] adjusts the time only gradually if within a certain time range – if you don't want that, use the <tt>-b</tt> option.
