- NAME
- timesrv - set local system time to time server host system time
-
- SYNOPSIS
- timesrv <hostname>
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Timesrv provides a TCP service on an Internet time server host using
- BSD Internet Stream Sockets. It obtains the current system time of
- the server's system clock time as a long int in units of seconds since
- the Epoch (end of 1969), and sends it out on stream socket 22375 (an
- arbitrary number, which must be matched on the client host). Normally
- the time server is a system that sychronizes to Master Clock time.
-
- timesrv is designed to be spawned by inetd
-
- timesrv requires the following entry in /etc/services:
-
- timesrv 22375/tcp
-
- and the following entry in /etc/inetd.conf:
-
- timesrv stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/timesrv timesrv
-
- After adding these lines, inetd must be restarted with the command:
- /etc/inetd -c
