===== Using systemd timesyncd =====

Check status of the daemon:

  systemctl status systemd-timesyncd

Edit /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf NTP line as:

  NTP=ntp0.gla.ac.uk ntp1.gla.ac.uk ntp2.gla.ac.uk

===== Using NTP client (old way) =====

Install ntp package

  aptitude install ntp

stop ntp

  /etc/init.d/ntp stop

edit ''/etc/ntp.conf'' and comment out the references to the debian pool servers. Add reference to local servers such as

  server ntp0.gla.ac.uk iburst
  server ntp1.gla.ac.uk iburst
  server ntp2.gla.ac.uk iburst

Start ntp

  /etc/init.d/ntp start

After a while check using ''ntpq -p''
