I want to setup a standalone NTP server on Ubuntu.
The problem is all the tutorials i see on the internet are about how to make the server to synchronize with another time server on the internet and then broadcast the time in my network.
What I want is the server I'm setting up to use its own system clock and broadcast it to the network, and not having to synchronize with an internet time server before that. How can I achieve that?
Also, on another note, which command can I run with ntpd
or ntpdc
to check that my server and clients are running the daemon correctly?
