  23                 system service that may be used to synchronize the
  24                 local system clock with a remote Network Time Protocol
  25                 server. It also saves the local time to disk every
  26                 time the clock has been synchronized and uses this to
  27                 possibly advance the system realtime clock on
  28                 subsequent reboots to ensure it
  29                 monotonically advances even if the system lacks a
  30                 battery-buffered RTC chip.</p><p>The NTP servers contacted are determined from
