title: 'Specify a Remote NTP Server'
description: |-
To specify a remote NTP server for time synchronization, edit
the file <tt>/etc/ntp.conf</tt>. Add or correct the following lines,
substituting the IP or hostname of a remote NTP server for <em>ntpserver</em>:
<pre>server <i>ntpserver</i></pre>
This instructs the NTP software to contact that remote server to obtain time
data.
rationale: |-
Synchronizing with an NTP server makes it possible
to collate system logs from multiple sources or correlate computer events with
real time events.

To verify that a remote NTP service is configured for time synchronization,
open the following file:
<pre>/etc/ntp.conf</pre>
In the file, there should be a section similar to the following:
<pre>server <i>ntpserver</i></pre>
platform: package[ntp]
