I have to pester the list, which has gotten me a bad rep because the

anywhere near google or a gmail link I get attacked by a virus that
calls itself norton antivirus. That is an oxymoron, like military

I have no idea what malware you have on your machines.
systemd-timesyncd is a NTP-client, not a server. It is shipped with man
pages and works out of the box (of course, if network is properly
configured).
Is it supposed to be installed by the net-installer? There does not seem
to be any man pages other than the bog std stuff. When I found the
/etc/systemd/timesyncd I immediately asked the system for man timesyncd,
got this:
gene@coyote:/etc$ man timesyncd
No manual entry for timesyncd
So one of the first things I did, after getting an orca-less install (
that took about 26 installs before someone said I had to unplug ALL my
usb stuff which other than keyboard/mouse buttons I did leave plugged in
because the only other stuff I had here was ps2 based, finally getting
an orca-less install, all the other installs were because bookworm with
orca removed by removing the exec bits of the executables because apt
wouldn't purge it, will not reboot without them forcing a reinstall any
time I had to reboot) and getting t-bird setup so I could do email was
to install ntpsec, which can be a server. and worked as a client OOTB.
Even if timesyncd might have worked, its not a server as you note.
But if there are man pages on timesyncd, that is not what they are named.
Now I decide to use this ntpsec install as a server to the rest of my
systems here, thereby unloading the debian pool a bit, and the lack of
docs bytes me again. I'm playing the 10,000 monkeys re-writing
Shakespear scene here and catching it for not using google, and got the
help I needed from John's post to look at manpages.org. And that seems
to have started another endless thread I'll get blamed for. My lack of
man pages has been asked, and ignored before, so I'll ask again:
What package contains the manpages for a bookworm amd64 install I expect
to do anything I might want to do?
Take care, stay warm, well, and unvaxed.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
