# /etc/systemd: Included files
## time synchronization settings (timesyncd.conf)
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
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 or the timeserver on
your LAN, etc.
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*.
