NAME

6       tlsdated.conf - tlsdated config file
7

SYNTAX

9       tlsdated.conf  is  the  configuration  file for the tlsdated(8) daemon.
10       The config file is formatted as a list  of  key-value  pairs,  one  per
11       line,  separated  by whitespace. Whitespace inside values is preserved,
12       so
13              foo   bar baz quxx
14       represents the key foo mapping to the value bar baz quxx.  Empty  lines
15       and  lines beginning with # are ignored; leading whitespace on lines is
16       stripped. For boolean options, the value yes or no value at  all  indi‐
17       cates that the option should be switched on, and all other values indi‐
18       cate that the option should be switched off. Note that trailing  white‐
19       space is preserved in values.

OPTIONS

22       base-path [string]
23              Sets the path to tlsdated's cache directory.
24
25       dry-run [bool]
26              If enabled, don't actually adjust the system time.
27
28       jitter [int]
29              Add  or  subtract  up to this many seconds from the steady-state
30              interval when checking. This helps prevent  correlation  between
31              sequential checks and smooth load on time hosts.
32
33       max-tries [int]
34              How many times to try running the tlsdate subprocess.
35
36       min-steady-state-interval [int]
37              Do  not  check  more  than once this many seconds when in steady
38              state.
39
40       should-load-disk [bool]
41              If enabled, try loading the current timestamp out of  the  cache
42              directory.
43
44       should-netlink [bool]
45              If  enabled,  use a netlink socket to get network events; other‐
46              wise, read network events from stdin.
47
48       should-save-disk [bool]
49              If enabled, save the current timestamp to  the  cache  directory
50              every so often and at exit.
51
52       should-sync-hwclock [bool]
53              If enabled, set the hwclock to the fetched time.
54
55       steady-state-interval [int]
56              Check at least once this many seconds when in steady state.
57
58       subprocess-timeout [int]
59              How many seconds to wait for the subprocess to exit.
60
61       verbose [bool]
62              If enabled, tlsdated will be annoyingly verbose in syslog and on
63              stdout.
64
65       wait-between-tries [int]
66              How long to wait between runs of the subprocess.
67

SOURCES

69       You can list one or more sources to fetch  time  from.  The  format  of
70       these is:
71           source
72               host www.example.com
73               port 443
74               proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9050
75           end
76

BUGS

78       It's likely! Let us know by contacting jacob@appelbaum.net
