This is a simple guide for setting up network time on FreeBSD.
* Update the system:
<pre>
pkg update && pkg upgrade
</pre>
* Install NTP:
<pre>
pkg install ntp
</pre>
* Edit the ntp config file:
<pre>
vi /etc/ntp.conf
</pre>
#* NOTE: The default configuration is fine for getting started immediately.
* Start and enable ntp at boot:
<pre>
echo 'ntpdate_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
</pre>
#* NOTE: Setting time via NTP will not work in a jail, since the jail will get the time from the host system.
