 ntptimeset [-l] [-d]... [-v] [-s] [-c   filename   ] [-u] [-S   integer   ]  [-V   integer   ] [-t   timeout   ] [-H] [-a   key_id   ] [-e   delay   ] 

Description

Synchronizes the system clock in a manner similar to ntpdate , but in a way that attempts to compensate for current, possibly degraded, network conditions.

Options/Usage


-a

Enables secure authentication with the key specified by the given identifier.


-c

Specifies the location of the configuration file. Defaults to /etc/ntp.conf .

-e

Specifies the delay, in seconds, caused by authentication. Normally this value is negligible.


-H

Specifies time, in seconds, spent waiting for a server response. Defaults to 1 .


-u

Uses an unprivileged client port.
