+# NTP Cookbook
-Installs and configures ntp, optionally set up a local NTP server.
-
-USAGE
-=====
-
-Set up the ntp attributes in a role. For example in a base.rb role applied to all nodes:
-
- "ntp" => {
- "servers" => "time.int.example.org"
- }
-
-Then in an ntpserver.rb role that is applied to NTP servers:
-
- "ntp" => {
- "is_server" => "true",
- "servers" => "0.us.pool.ntp.org"
- }
-
-The time.int.example.org used in the base role is a CNAME for the NTP server.
