# /etc/systemd: Included files
## Time synchronization settings (timesyncd.conf)
2019-01-09 03:54:47 -07:00
This file configures the *systemd-timesyncd.service* and allows for a very
simple NTP-sync setup. Edit the **NTP=** line with a space-delimited list of
2019-01-09 03:54:47 -07:00
your desired timeservers. In the event those timeservers are not available, you
can configure backup servers by listing them on the **FallbackNTP=** line, again
space delimited.
I've set the defaults in this file to be the worldwide NTP.org servers. This
should work for pretty much anyone that uses this file, but you *really should*
customize the list to use geographically closer timeservers (check out the list
[here](http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers)) or the
timeserver on your LAN, etc.
2019-01-09 03:54:47 -07:00
When you're done editing this file, make sure you restart the *timesyncd
service* and check it's status to verify it is now using one of your defined NTP
servers.
```bash
systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd.service && systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service
```
Finally, you can confirm things are working properly by running timedatectl.
```bash
timedatectl
```
You should see the correct time listed and *NTP synchronized: yes*.
