Est-ce que `ntpd` règle l'horloge matérielle?

Définit ntpdl'horloge matérielle?

Est-ce que ntpdrégler l'horloge matérielle si je -qréussis (signifie une correction unique)?

Linux 3.5.6, ntp 4.2.6.p5.

Il est écrit ici que ntpd synchronise l'horloge système avec le matériel toutes les 11 minutes, mais je ne trouve aucune référence à cela dans le mans ntpd.

Une question similaire a été posée sur Serverfault.com . C'était la réponse.

Depuis la hwclockpage de manuel de RHEL 4.6:

This mode (we'll call it "11 minute mode") is off until something turns it on.  The ntp
daemon  xntpd  is  one thing  that  turns  it on.  You can turn it off by running
anything, including hwclock --hctosys, that sets the System Time the old fashioned way.

To see if it is on or off, use the command adjtimex --print and look at the value of
"status".  If the "64" bit of this number (expressed in binary) equal to 0, 11 minute mode 
is on.  Otherwise, it is off.

Donc, en vertu de votre course, hwclock --setvous l'avez probablement désactivé. De la même manière, vous pouvez vérifier la sortie du adjtimex --printpour confirmer.

Voyez par vous-même (le script suivant affiche le "statut de l'heure" en temps quasi réel, tout en enregistrant les changements brusques de valeur)
