Isn't NTP outdated? I thought we were moving to PTP.

This question feels similar to one we practiced in class about configuring NTP, but I can't remember if we had to set a specific timezone as well.

The commands for starting and enabling the service seem right, but I hope I don't forget to check the status afterward with timedatectl.

I remember we have to edit the chrony.conf file to add the NTP server, but I can't recall if we need to include any specific options besides "iburst."

I think we need to install chrony first, but I'm not entirely sure if it's yum or dnf for the package manager.

Wait, do I need to do anything special for the NTP server itself? Or is this just about configuring the client to sync with the provided NTP server?

Okay, got it. Configure the NTP client, set the NTP server, and validate the time sync. Shouldn't be too difficult as long as I follow the steps carefully.

Hmm, not sure if I should use the chrony package or the traditional ntpd. I'll need to double-check the requirements to make sure I'm using the right tool.

This seems straightforward. I'll start by installing the NTP client package, then configure the NTP server in the config file, and finally enable and restart the service.
