6 NTP Software Installation and Configuration
6.5.1 NTP Configuration File
The NTP configuration file, NTP.CONF, is a human readable text file
which contains information about security settings, time servers and
reference clocks. NTP reads the information in this file at startup, and
initializes itself according to the configuration entries.
The order of the line items in the configuration file is arbitrary. You
must edit the configuration file for the serial port connection on your
system. You should also include any available time servers on your
network.
!
Note – The configuration file is a security sensitive file. It should be
protected from accidental or intentional modification by users, and
should only be modified by a qualified systems administrator.
Create a NTP configuration file similar to the one shown in
Figure 6-2.

Note – If your system already has a configuration file, you may want
to review the entries or make a backup file before modifying the
existing configuration.
