You still misunderstand my intentions. I don't want anything to be changed or
"fixed". I want to understand, why things are as they are - mostly to
implement my things in a better or more conformable way. And using something from a script/module, that can never exist, seemed senseless to me, so I tried to verify, if it is senseless or my understanding is wrong.
I don't understand what is going on, but let me say something I heard somewhere long ago.
It was the idea that the network administrator (on an enterprise building, say), would install a time server, and wanted this server to be published via DHCP so that all machines in the building would know about it and sync to it.
Thx for your answer, but I have a working setup with systemd-timesyncd and a Networker dispatcher script for DHCP connections. The following website has an example: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ NetworkManager#Dynamically_set_NTP_servers_received_via_DHCP_with_systemd- timesyncd I observed, though, that for static interface configurations this won't work, because nm doesn't have an ntp server address for the connection. So I tried to find out, what would be the best way to configure this. During my research I came across nm and netconfig config files and tried to understand, how they are playing together, and if I could make use of any setting they provide for static interface settings. [...]
An automatic Domain Time client with DHCP enabled will broadcast to locate a DHCP Server. Note that DHCP broadcasts usually do not cross routers.
AFAIK systemd-timesyncd doesn't do this.
