Time and Date set to: Wed Jul 6 15:29:00 UTC 2005

Please note the time/date format - month/day/hour/minute/year (MMDDHHMMYYYY).

For the above example, if it was 3:29pm (15:29) on July 6, 2005

If you enter return without entering a new time string the time and date will not be changed.

Step 5: Configure the Network Time Daemon (Optional)

You can optionally configure the NRC to use the Network Time Protocol daemon (NTPd) to

keep the NRC system clock synchronized with other machines on the network.

Typical NTPd configuration requires only the IP address of a time server. This can be provided

by either another machine on the local network with NTPd already configured, or from one of

many free public NTP servers. Detailed information about NTP and a Public NTP Server list

can be found at http://www.ntp.org.

Select option 5 to configure the basic NTPd option, which displays the following menu.

To modify or view the current NTPd configuration file select 1. Below is a screen sequence

example as the NTPd is configured.

Current /etc/ntp.conf:

# File generated by Aegis configuration

# No one except the servers can access the ntpd service:
