Hi,
I looked on google and several places tell to use "ntpstat" to verify the clock. Now, ntpstat is not available on openSUSE (I tried "osc se -s ntpstat" and "cnf ntpstat").
<https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-bsd-is-ntp-client-working/>
Sample outputs:
synchronised to NTP server (149.20.54.20) at stratum 3 time correct to within 42 ms polling server every 1024 s
Now, as ntpstat is nowhere to be found, how can I know what is the actual time difference between my computer clock and reality?
No, ntpq doesn't say.
In addition to ntpq, systemd now provides time and date control and client ntp time sync, e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_time sntp daemon (client side only) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-timesyncd As long as you are not functioning as a ntp server, systemd does a pretty good job. -- David C.
