Configuring the Network Time Protocol (NTP)

The NTP configuration file

The configuration file /etc/ntp.conf contains information that the ntpd daemon uses at startup, including:

The syntax of the configuration file is fairly free format. Comments begin with a ``#'' character and extend to the end of the line. Comments may be inserted freely and blank lines are ignored. Configuration statements include an initial keyword followed by arguments that are separated by white space (blanks or tabs). These statements may not be split over multiple lines. A list of the configuration statements with their arguments appears below. Optional arguments are delimited by ``['' and ``]'', and alternatives are separated by ``|''.
