NAME
ntpd — Network Time Protocol daemonSYNOPSIS
ntpd | [-dnv] [-f file] [-p file] |
DESCRIPTION
The ntpd daemon synchronizes the local clock to one or more remote NTP servers or local timedelta sensors. ntpd can also act as an NTP server itself, redistributing the local time. It implements the Simple Network Time Protocol version 4, as described in RFC 5905, and the Network Time Protocol version 3, as described in RFC 1305. Time can also be fetched from TLS HTTPS servers to reduce the impact of unauthenticated NTP man-in-the-middle attacks.- -d
- Do not daemonize. If this option is specified, ntpd will run in the foreground and log to stderr.
- -f file
- Use file as the configuration file, instead of the default /etc/ntpd.conf.
- -n
-
Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.
- -v
- This option allows ntpd to send DEBUG priority messages to syslog.
- -p file
- Write pid to file
