| Description | This service allows to keep your machine on time, by being synchronized with a remote time server. The later may itself be synchronized with a better time server and so on. The last one (stratum 1) uses an accurate source of time (stratum 0), like an atomic or GPS clock, and distribute it over the Internet. | |||
