As shown in Figure 29-2, the second
tabbed window that appears is for configuring NTP.
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon synchronizes the system
clock with a remote time server or time source (such as a
satellite). The application allows you to configure an NTP daemon
to synchronize your system clock with a remote server. To enable
this feature, select Enable Network Time
Protocol. This enables the Server
pulldown menu. You can choose one of the predefined servers or type
a server name in the pulldown menu. Your system does not start
synchronizing with the NTP server until you click OK. After clicking OK, the
configuration is saved and the NTP daemon is started (or restarted
if it is already running).
Clicking the OK button applies any
changes made to the date and time, the NTP daemon settings, and the
time zone settings. It also exits the program.
