- ntp: Network Time Protocol daemon and utility programs
NTP, the Network Time Protocol, is used to keep computer clocks
accurate by synchronizing them over the Internet or a local network,
or by following an accurate hardware receiver that interprets GPS,
DCF-77, NIST or similar time signals.
.
This package contains the NTP daemon and utility programs. An NTP
daemon needs to be running on each host that is to have its clock
accuracy controlled by NTP. The same NTP daemon is also used to
provide NTP service to other hosts.
.
For more information about the NTP protocol and NTP server
configuration and operation, install the package "ntp-doc".

- ntp-doc: Network Time Protocol documentation
NTP, the Network Time Protocol, is used to keep computer clocks
accurate by synchronizing them over the Internet or a local network,
or by following an accurate hardware receiver that interprets GPS,
DCF-77, NIST or similar time signals.
.
This package contains HTML documentation for the ntp packages (ntp,
ntpdate). Since there are no substantive man pages for ntp's
programs and configuration files, this package is desirable for any
setup beyond the simple default configuration.
- ntpdate: client for setting system time from NTP servers
NTP, the Network Time Protocol, is used to keep computer clocks
accurate by synchronizing them over the Internet or a local network,
or by following an accurate hardware receiver that interprets GPS,
DCF-77, NIST or similar time signals.
.
ntpdate is a simple NTP client that sets a system's clock to match
the time obtained by communicating with one or more NTP servers. It
is not sufficient, however, for maintaining an accurate clock in the
long run. ntpdate by itself is useful for occasionally setting the
time on machines that do not have full-time network access, such as
laptops.
.
If the full NTP daemon from the package "ntp" is installed, then
ntpdate is not necessary.
