Linux: Synchronizing hardware clock
From FVue
Problem
The hardware clock of my PC seems to advance a couple of minutes every day. How can I synchronize the hardware clock on a regular base?
Solution
- Activate ntp via {YaST | System | System Services (Runlevel) | Enable ntp: Start network time protocol daemon (NTPD)}
- Find the nearest time server at NTPPoolServers - NTP and specify the servers in
/etc/ntp.conf, for example when living in the Netherlands:
server 0.nl.pool.ntp.org server 1.nl.pool.ntp.org server 2.nl.pool.ntp.org

Specified the nearest time server – found at NTPPoolServers - NTP – in /etc/ntp.conf:
server 0.nl.pool.ntp.org server 1.nl.pool.ntp.org server 2.nl.pool.ntp.org
