Install and Configure NTP on CentOS

This is a simple tutorial on how to install and configure the NTP service to make sure your clock is accurate and synched on your system.

$ yum install ntp

Once that's done turn on the NTP service so that it automatically starts on boot.

$ chkconfig --level 2345 ntpd on

Here we are just setting the service the NTP server will use to synchronize the clock with, in this case we are using the 0.pool.ntp.org server

$ ntpdate pool.ntp.org

$ /etc/init.d/ntpd start
