Ignorant question:
Slackware ships with ntpd, but /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd installs without
execute permission, so one must deliberately decide to enable it.
My question is: why would anyone *not* want to run ntpd at least as a
client? OK, some will prefer chrony, but in general, is there any reason
not to run a time server daemon? Let's assume it either accepts no
incoming connections or is properly configured to feed time only to the
local network.
Background: I've always done the standalone hwclock --adjust thing and
it never really worked well. So I tried ntpd. Big improvement.
Hope everyone's staying safe and not too bored!
