timedsetup(8)
NAME
  timedsetup - Performs initial setup of the time server daemon (timed).

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/timedsetup

DESCRIPTION
  The timedsetup command is an interactive script that can be used to perform
  initial time service configuration for your system.

  By default, timed does not start at boot time.  The timedsetup script asks
  if you want the timed daemon to be started at boot time, and prompts you
  for any flags to pass to the timed daemon whenever it is invoked.  The
  script then starts the timed daemon.

  For more information on the timed flags, see the timed(8) reference page.

				     Note
       The timed daemon is provided for compatibility.	DIGITAL UNIX also
       provides support for the Network Time Protocol (NTP) through the xntpd
       daemon.	Digital recommends you use NTP for time synchronization.  If
       your system is configured to run NTP, the timedsetup command passes
       the -E and -M options to the timed daemon by default.

	 If you plan to run both the timed daemon and NTP, you should
	 configure NTP first.

RESTRICTIONS
  In configurations with two or more hosts each connected to the same two or
  more subnetworks, only one of the host can run the timed with the -M
  option.
