- The Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon synchronizes the system clock with a remote time server or time source. The application allows you to configure an NTP daemon to synchronize your system clock with a remote server. To enable this feature, select <guibutton>Enable Network Time Protocol</guibutton>. This enables the <guilabel>NTP Servers</guilabel> list and other options. You can choose one of the predefined servers, edit a predefined server by clicking the <guibutton>Edit</guibutton> or add a new server name by clicking <guibutton>Add</guibutton>. Your system does not start synchronizing with the NTP server until you click <guibutton>OK</guibutton>. After clicking <guibutton>OK</guibutton>, the configuration is saved and the NTP daemon is started (or restarted if it is already running).
+ Here you can choose one of the predefined servers, edit a predefined server by clicking the <guibutton>Edit</guibutton> button, or add a new server name by clicking <guibutton>Add</guibutton>. In the <guilabel>Advanced Options</guilabel>, you can also select whether you want to synchronize the system clock before starting the service, and if you wish to use a local time source.
