Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the extended header to avoid any doubt. I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>systemd-timesyncd</filename> is a system service
|
|
that may be used to synchronize the local system clock with a
|
|
remote Network Time Protocol server. It also saves the local time
|
|
to disk every time the clock has been synchronized and uses this
|
|
to possibly advance the system realtime clock on subsequent
|
|
reboots to ensure it monotonically advances even if the system
|
|
lacks a battery-buffered RTC chip.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <filename>systemd-timesyncd</filename> service
|
|
specifically implements only SNTP. This minimalistic
|
|
service will set the system clock for large offsets or
|
|
slowly adjust it for smaller deltas. More complex use
|
|
cases are not covered by <filename>systemd-timesyncd</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The NTP servers contacted are determined from the global
|
|
settings in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>timesyncd.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
the per-link static settings in <filename>.network</filename>
|
|
files, and the per-link dynamic settings received over DHCP. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more details.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
|
|
<command>set-ntp</command> command may be used to enable and
|
|
start, or disable and stop this service.</para>
