-						The NTP daemon (<application>ntpd</application>) on your computer usually refers to external NTP servers for authoritative information about the time. You can set the daemon running on your system to serve time to its NTP clients even if no source of synchronized time is available. To use this feature, select the <guilabel>Use Local Time Source</guilabel> option. This option is useful only under limited and unusual circumstances.
