- <para>Historically, AFS provided its own version of the
- Network Time Protocol Daemon. Whilst this is still provided for
- existing sites, we recommend that you configure and run your
- own timeservice independently of AFS. The instructions below are

- <para>Start the <emphasis role="bold">runntp</emphasis> process, which configures the Network Time Protocol Daemon
- (NTPD) to choose a database server machine chosen randomly from the local <emphasis
- role="bold">/usr/afs/etc/CellServDB</emphasis> file as its time source. In the standard configuration, the first
- database server machine installed in your cell refers to a time source outside the cell, and serves as the basis for
- clock synchronization on all server machines. <programlisting>

- <para>Do not run the <emphasis role="bold">runntp</emphasis> process if NTPD or another time synchronization protocol
- is already running on the machine. Some versions of some operating systems run a time synchronization program by
- default, as detailed in the <emphasis>OpenAFS Release Notes</emphasis>.</para>
-
- <para>Attempting to run multiple instances of the NTPD causes an error. Running NTPD together with another time
- synchronization protocol is unnecessary and can cause instability in the clock setting.</para>
