NTP Server : Configure NTP Client

 

NTP Server : Configure NTP Client

 

Configure NTP Client.

 

NTP Client [systemd-timesyncd.service] is running by default on Ubuntu, so it's easy to set NTP Client.

By the way, it's also possible to use NTPsec or Chrony as a NTP Client.
If you use them, simply set only NTP server to sync time, do not set permission to receive time sync requests from other Hosts.

[1]Configure [systemd-timesyncd.service].
root@client:~# 
systemctl status systemd-timesyncd
