I am a bit bewildered by the following section in /etc/rc.conf: timed_enable="NO" # Run the time daemon (or NO). timed_flags="" # Flags to timed (if enabled). ntpdate_enable="NO" # Run the ntpdate to sync time (or NO). ntpdate_program="ntpdate" # path to ntpdate, if you want a different one. ntpdate_flags="" # Flags to ntpdate (if enabled). xntpd_enable="NO" # Run xntpd Network Time Protocol (or NO). xntpd_program="xntpd" # path to xntpd, if you want a different one. xntpd_flags="-p /var/run/xntpd.pid" # Flags to xntpd (if enabled). tickadj_enable="NO" # Run tickadj (or NO). tickadj_flags="-Aq" # Flags to tickadj (if enabled). If I wish to use NTP to synchronize my system clock, and serve NTP so the other machine on my network can synch to that, which of these do I enable? More generally, are these options mutually exclusive, or do they work together? Also, does anyone know a good NTP source on the east coast of the U.S.? Thanks in advance.
