Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.150173
Category:	Policy
Title:	Linux: Read /etc/ntp.conf (KB)
Summary:	The ntpd program is an operating system daemon which sets and;maintains the system time of day in synchronism with Internet standard time servers. It is a;complete implementation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) version 4, but also retains compatibility;with version 3, as defined by RFC-1305, and version 1 and 2, as defined by RFC-1059 and RFC-1119,;respectively. ntpd does most computations in 64-bit floating point arithmetic and does relatively;clumsy 64-bit fixed point operations only when necessary to preserve the ultimate precision, about;232 picoseconds. While the ultimate precision is not achievable with ordinary workstations and;networks of today, it may be required with future gigahertz CPU clocks and gigabit LANs.;;Note: This script only stores information for other Policy Controls.
