It's probably already running ntpd and setup to get time from a few pool machines out on the net. Start by doing: ntpq -p If that works, look in /etc/ntp.conf The official ntp documentation starts as html files. There may be scripts that turn them into man pages. They may be out of date, misleading or missing a lot of critical info. The html stuff may get installed on your system. If not, be sure to get the html pages that correspond to the version of ntpd that you are running. If you want better time, you need a local source of time. ntpd calls them refclocks. If you want seriously good time, you need the PPS mods to the kernel. I've lost track of where they come from and/or what the current status is. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
