Hi Tom,

ntpd is already included in geexbox, but, if i am not wrong, there is no systemd service for ntpd.

Due to my last issue with r13766 to have the date set to the year 1927, i would like to have ntpd always running from start.

If you wish, i could prepare the config files and the systemd service file for you…?

no problem but can you check if this service is running ?
rdate.service ?
this service should do the job

I think i found the bad guy.
If i exec “rdate -s ntp0.cornell.edu” as taken from the rdate.service -> the date is set to “Sun Oct 2 11:16:49 UTC 1927″.

There seems to be something wrong with the “ntp0.cornell.edu”. If i exec “rdate -s ptbtime1.ptb.de” the date is set back to correct time!

what are the constrains for geexbox team for a time server.
If you tell me i can try to find one.
I would even say that you drop rdate and us ntpd with 3 time server to be redundant and avoid this.

This date mess cost me many hours last night

seems to be that ntp0.cornell.edu is back agin with the right time, but still i would propose to setup ntpd.

I am ready so far with the patch.
I only need to know where you enable/disable systemd service at boot time?
Don’t get me wrong, i know the systemd command, but i guess that you set the default services somewhere in your repo…
