Run as root it can correct the system clock to this offset as well. It can be run as an interactive command or from a script by a <tt>cron</tt> job. The program implements the SNTP client protocol defined in RFC 5905, including the full on-wire protocol but does not provide the sanity checks, access controls, security functions and mitigation algorithms as in the full NTP version 4 specification, also defined in RFC 5905.</p> <p>By default, <tt>sntp</tt> writes the local date and time (i.e., not UTC) to the standard output in the format</p> -<p><tt>2011-08-04 00:40:36.642222 (+0000) +0.006611 +/- 0.041061 psp-os1 149.20.68.26</tt></p> -<p>where the <tt>+0.006611 +/- 0.041061</tt> indicates the time offset and error bound of the system clock relative to the server clock, in seconds.</p> +<p><tt>2011-08-04 00:40:36.642222 (+0000) +0.006611 +/- 0.041061 psp-os1 149.20.68.26 s3 no-leap</tt></p> +<p>where the <tt>+0.006611 +/- 0.041061</tt> indicates the time offset and error bound of the system clock relative to the server clock, in seconds.
