@.TH timesrv 1 local
@.SH NAME
timesrv \- set local system time to time server host system time
@.SH SYNOPSIS
@.B timesrv <hostname>
@.SH DESCRIPTION
@.I Timesrv
provides a TCP service on an Internet time server host using BSD
Internet Stream Sockets. It obtains the current system time
of the server's system clock time as a long int in units of
seconds since the Epoch (end of 1969), and sends it out on stream
socket 22375 (an arbitrary number, which must be matched on the
client host). Normally the time
server is a system that sychronizes to Master Clock time.
@.PP
@.I timesrv
is designed to be spawned by
@.I inetd
@.PP
@.I timesrv
requires the following entry in
@.I /etc/services:
@.PP
timesrv 22375/tcp
@.PP
and the following entry in
@.I /etc/inetd.conf:
@.PP
timesrv stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/timesrv timesrv
@.PP
After adding these lines, inetd must be restarted with the command:
@.I /etc/inetd -c
