Linux NTP

Linux NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a system that keeps a computer's clock accurate by syncing it with highly precise time sources over the internet or local networks. It ensures that the device's time stays consistent with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is essential for tasks like logging events, security, and communication. NTP continuously adjusts the clock slightly to correct any drift, providing reliable and synchronized timing across multiple systems. This helps maintain data integrity and coordination in various applications and services running on Linux systems.
