- The <filename>/etc/sysconfig/ntpd</filename> file is used to pass arguments to the <command>ntpd</command> daemon at boot time. The <command>ntpd</command> daemon sets and maintains the system clock to synchronize with an Internet standard time server. It implements version 4 of the Network Time Protocol (NTP). For more information about what parameters are available for this file, use a Web browser to view the following file: <filename>/usr/share/doc/ntp-<replaceable><version></replaceable>/ntpd.htm</filename> (where <replaceable><version></replaceable> is the version number of <command>ntpd</command>). By default, this file sets the owner of the <command>ntpd</command> process to the user <computeroutput>ntp</computeroutput>.
