Define NTP server used at boot time

1. In the WUI, select the Services tab.

2. Browse to the line ntp and click on to display a configuration page.

3. Specify the NTP servers to use to force time synchronization at boot with the keyword sync_servers.

4. Specify the option unpriv_port to use port sources greater than 1024.

   service ntp
     ########## Network Time Protocol daemon. Recommended.
     # [no] unpriv_port   : do not/do use an unprivileged source port
     # force_sync         : force NTP synchronisation upon startup. May be slow.
     # sync_servers <srv> : Use those servers for force_sync
     #------------
     force_sync
     sync_server 192.168.0.1
