-===== NTP =====
+====== NTP ======
+We are running NTP to keep the clock accurate.
+===== Installation =====
+Debian
+<code debian>
+apt-get install ntp ntp-doc ntp-simple ntpdate
+</code>
+CentOS
+<code centos>
+yum install ntp
+</code>
+===== Configuration =====
+We are using the default configuration that Debian/CentOS ships with. This is primarily a client configuration -- we allow other systems only to get the current time; they may not query any further information. (This is limited via the ''restrict'' keyword.) The daemon runs primarily in order to sync the system's time with the upstream NTP servers.
+The configuration file points to multiple upstream NTP servers within [debian/centos].pool.ntp.org.
+===== TODO =====
-We are running NTP to keep the clock accurate. It is pointed at multiple instances of us.pool.ntp.org and is configured in /etc/ntp.conf. We are not providing time service to any other machines (this is limited via the "restrict" keyword in ntp.conf).
