timedsetup(8)timedsetup(8)NAMEtimedsetup - Performs initial setup of the time server daemon (timed).
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/timedsetup
DESCRIPTION
The timedsetup command is an interactive script that can be used to
perform initial time service configuration for your system.
By default, timed does not start at boot time. The timedsetup script
asks if you want the timed daemon to be started at boot time, and
prompts you for any options to pass to the timed daemon whenever it is
invoked. The script then starts the timed daemon.
For more information on the timed options, see the timed(8) reference
page.
Note
The timed daemon is provided for compatibility. Tru64 UNIX also pro‐
vides support for the Network Time Protocol (NTP) through the xntpd
daemon, which is the recommended method of time synchronization. If
your system is configured to run NTP, the timedsetup command passes the
-E and -M options to the timed daemon by default.
If you plan to run both the timed daemon and NTP, you should configure
NTP first.
RESTRICTIONS
In configurations with two or more hosts each connected to the same two
or more subnetworks, only one of the host can run the timed with the -M
option.
FILES
