NTP Software Installation and Configuration

6.3.2Host System Preparation

Installation of NTP must be performed by a user with administrative or super-user privileges.

Network Time Protocol can not coexist with other clock synchronization utilities, such as the TimeServ utility available in the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit. Any other time synchronization utility running on the host system must be stopped, disabled or de-installed.

The host system clock should be set manually to the correct time. If your network already has a time server, use the NTPDATE utility to reset the system clock is recommended. For more information on using NTPDATE, see Appendix E, NTP Diagnostics and Debugging. In absence of existing time servers, use the operating system date/time facilities to reset the clock to the approximate local time.
