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: restrict default ignore
