Select whether to start the NTP daemon when booting the system. The NTP daemon resolves host names when initializing. The first synchronization of the clock is performed before the NTP daemon is started. To use this host for initial synchronization configure the property initial_sync.

To run NTP daemon in chroot jail, set start_in_chroot. Starting any daemon in a chroot jail is more secure and strongly recommended. To adjust NTP servers, peers, local clocks, and NTP broadcasting, add the appropriate entry to the control file. an example of various configuration options is shown below.
