OpenNTPD 3.9p1-4-maemo8
OpenBSD NTP daemon
NTP, the Network Time Protocol, is used to keep the computers clock synchronize.
It provides the ability to sync the local clock to remote NTP servers and
can act as NTP server itself, redistributing the local clock.
This is an alternative implementation of the NTP software made by the OpenBSD project.
It makes use of privilege separation.
It only implements a subset of the NTP protocol and does not adjust the rate of the clock.
Alternatives packages are ntp and chrony.

Comments:
Works well. To use it - you simply install it, and it should maintain the clock by sending an occasional packet a few times an hour to timeservers to query the current time.
Verified, it works well. Thanks for the info.
This daemon sync date/time automatically, so e.g. change date/time to wrong value and leave it for a while, if the device is online, it will check other remote NTP server and correct the clock.
In addition, if you don't this daemon and disable "Update automatically" setting in Date and time setting dialog, your device's clock will go wrong. But if you run this daemon, it should be kept.
Just installed, but I have no idea about how to use it. How can I test it?
