The time system that is found on the Linux Server that you possess can be synchronized with an internet time that is highly accurate using the NTP protocol. This is normally done so that you can have the opportunity of being synchronized with a server that operates with a NTP that is internet based. When you are in the process of configuring your NTP, you will first of all require source code distribution. These are numerous You can simply get the codes from the internet owing to the fact that it is usually software that is Open Source, which means that it is publicly available. There is usually a port that is specifically meant to cater for the people who are using Windows platforms. However, the operating system of Linux is normally the most important development for the NTP. Immediately after you have finished the downloading process, you will realize that the distribution for the NTP will require configuration and compilation, which is to be done on the computer that serves as the host. In order to configure the NTP Daemon you will be required to use the file that has the main NTP configuration. This is actually a file that comprises a list of the specific commands that are used for providing the instructions of the entire synchronization process. You will also have the option of choosing from a number of control points that are essential in restricting any network-time clients from using your server. It is also important to take the necessary steps that are required in order to allow only the machines that are your specific network to synchronize with the particular server in question. There are also other commands that you can perform to specify the restricted access to the computers that you have chosen. You can also choose to use the NTP authentication which usually works in such a way that it prevents any intervention from rogue Servers, by authenticating it. The authentication process is actually executed by keys that are encrypted. Such a key is usually sent by the server to the particular client where it is meant to be unencrypted, so that a match can be established. There are also some other steps that you will be required to undertake, such as controlling and querying the NTP Server Daemon. This process will ensure that you complete the configuration process successfully.
