Today I was looking over a system to see what it was doing, checking all the running processes, etc, and I spotted that it was running openntpd.
This post is a reminder to myself that systemd now contains an NTP-client, and I should go round and purge the ntpd/openntpd packages from my systems.
You can check on the date/time via:
$ timedatectl
Local time: Wed 2019-10-23 09:17:08 EEST
Universal time: Wed 2019-10-23 06:17:08 UTC
RTC time: Wed 2019-10-23 06:17:08
Time zone: Europe/Helsinki (EEST, +0300)
System clock synchronized: yes
systemd-timesyncd.service active: yes
RTC in local TZ: no
If the system is not setup to sync it can be enabled via:
$ sudo timedatectl set-ntp true
Finally logs can be checked as you would expect:
$ journalctl -u systemd-timesyncd.service
