It checks whether systemd-timesyncd.service is enabled. Likewise, enabling/disabling NTP with "timedatectl set-ntp" is just a frontend for "systemctl enable/disable systemd-timesyncd.service". Again this requires /etc/systemd/system/ to be writable, of course -- but if you want to allow users to configure the system (/etc/systemd/system/ or /etc/timezone etc.) you need to have at least these directories writable. > > > # systemctl status systemd.timesyncd > > > * systemd.timesyncd.service > > > Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) > > > Active: inactive (dead) It's systemd-timesyncd (dash, not dot).
