CheckPoint NTP time sync configuration

To set NTP in CheckPoint SecurePlatform (SPLAT) system run following command:

[code]
ntp -n 1800 time.nist.gov ntp.eenet.ee ntp.estpak.ee
[/code]

You may also use IP addresses:

[code]
ntp -n 1800 64.236.96.53 193.40.133.142 192.98.49.10
[/code]

This command will create a config file in /etc/sysconfig/ntp and enable ntpd on boot.

The following file was produced by example command:
[code]
SERVER1=64.236.96.53
SERVER2=193.40.133.142
SERVER3=192.98.49.10
INTERVAL=1800
MD5_SECRET=
USE_NTP=true
[/code]

You may want to confirm ntpd will be started at boot by running:
[code]
chkconfig –list ntp
[/code]

Command should display:
[code]
ntp 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off
