Hi Yes Alex, it would be useful if you mentioned what distro you were using. Having said which, you'll still need to identify a public server. I'd suggest that you use Google and search for "ntp public servers" and choose one that offers open access for Linux near to you. When you have a couple then you can enter them in the appropriate script. Again, if your using Debian: apt-cache show chrony Package: chrony Priority: extra Section: admin Installed-Size: 744 Maintainer: John Hasler <jhasler at debian.org> Architecture: i386 Version: 1.20-1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2-1), libncurses5 (>= 5.3.20030510-1), libreadline4 (>= 4.3-1) Conflicts: ntp, ntpsimple, ntprefclock Filename: pool/main/c/chrony/chrony_1.20-1_i386.deb Size: 301192 MD5sum: 95cff98093d5e6665c4f7dd773d3f0d7 Description: Sets your computer's clock from time servers on the Net It consists of a pair of programs : `chronyd'. This is a daemon which runs in background on the system. It obtains measurements (e.g. via the network) of the system's offset relative to other systems, and adjusts the system time accordingly. For isolated systems, the user can periodically enter the correct time by hand (using `chronyc'). In either case, `chronyd' determines the rate at which the computer gains or loses time, and compensates for this. Chronyd implements the NTP protocol and can act as either a client or a server. `chronyc'. This is a command-line driven control and monitoring program. An administrator can use this to fine-tune various parameters within the daemon, add or delete servers etc whilst the daemon is running.
