Here's some notes to using a NTP client on the HGA or Gateway on a Linux based system.

First:

  Ensure that the system cab see the internet, try something like:

     ping www.google.com to see that you get a return.
 

Configure the NTP client

   This is done by editing the /etc/ntp.cong file:

     nano /etc/ntp.conf

in the UK, the contents should look like:

driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
logfile /var/log/ntp.log
server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 1.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 2.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 3.uk.pool.ntp.org

Now restart the ntpd daemon using:

/etc/init.d/ntpd restart

Is it working?

use:

   cat /var/log/ntp.log

after some time, you'll see something like:

23 Dec 10:37:25 ntpd[4079]: synchronized to 194.238.48.3, stratum 2
23 Dec 10:39:02 ntpd[4079]: time reset +97.622654 s
23 Dec 10:39:02 ntpd[4079]: kernel time sync status change 0001
