It's important that your Funtoo Linux system has an accurate clock. NTP (network time protocol) can ensure your clock is accurate at all time.
=== Installation ===
{{console|body=###i## emerge app-text/wgetpaste}}


The recommended NTP client/server is '''{{Package|net-misc/chrony}}'''.
=== Configuration ===


<console>
=== Usage ===
###i## emerge chrony
Wgetpaste allows output to be streamed to the pastebin service of your choice.
###i## rc-update add chronyd default
{{console|body=###i## cat /tmp/emergeinfo.txt | wgetpaste}}
</console>
{{EbuildFooter}}
 
Use something like the following for your <code>/etc/chrony/chrony.conf</code>:
 
<pre>
server time.apple.com
maxupdateskew 100
driftfile /etc/chrony/chrony.drift
keyfile /etc/chrony/chrony.keys
commandkey 1
dumponexit
dumpdir /var/log/chrony
initstepslew 10 time.apple.com
logdir /var/log/chrony
log measurements statistics tracking
logchange 0.5
mailonchange me@emailprovider.com 0.5
rtcfile /etc/chrony/chrony.rtc
rtconutc
sched_priority 1
lock_all
</pre>
 
Chronyd can then be started immediately by running <code>rc</code> to start all new services:
 
<console>
###i## rc
</console>
 
Because Funtoo Linux starts network daemons without waiting for an Internet connection to become available, and because chrony will attempt to synchronize the clock over the Internet when it first starts, you must manually configure chronyd to be dependent on whatever method you use to enable your outbound network connectivity. For example, if using <code>dhcpcd</code>, add the following to <code>/etc/conf.d/chronyd</code>:
 
<pre>
rc_need=dhcpcd
</pre>
 
You should notice a marked improvement in your system clock's accuracy. If your system time was off by a significant amount, <code>chronyd</code> will gradually correct your clock while the system runs.
