# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| ntp: ntp (Network Time Protocol daemon) ntp: ntp: The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a ntp: computer client or server to another server or reference time source, ntp: such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem.
