2. Setup Restrict values in ntp. conf.

3. Allow Only Specific Clients.

4. Add Local Clock as Backup.

5. Setup NTP Log Parameters.

6. Start the NTP Serrver.


To Configure NTP client:

1. To configure your Linux system as an NTP client, you will need to install the ntp daemon (ntpd).

2. The ntpd configuration file is located at /etc/ntp.conf.

3. This file contains the list of NTP servers that will be used for time synchronization.

4. Next, restart the NTP deamon with the sudo service ntp reload command


Remove Duplicates in LibreOffice - Step by step process to do it ?

This article will guide you on how to get rid of duplicates from either the single column or from the multiple columns in LibreOffice. Removing duplicate entries is necessary to clean up the data. With LibreOffice advanced filter tool, you can easily remove these duplicate values from your data.

The #VLOOKUP function (short for Vertical LOOKUP) is a built-in Calc function that is designed to work with data that is organized into columns. 

For a specified value, the function finds (or looks up) the value in one column of data, and returns the corresponding value from another column.


To find duplicates in #LibreOffice Calc:

1. Go to the worksheet that has the duplicate entries, and select 'Data' > 'Filter' > 'Standard Filter' (it seems to automatically select the data in the sheet that it will filter, you may want to do this manually beforehand).

2. It should then filter the data, and hide any duplicate records.


To insert a date in Libreoffice #Calc:

To enter a current date as a static date, press CTRL+; (semicolon). It will insert today's date as a static value in the corresponding cell. 

Similarly to enter current time as staic value, press CTRL+SHIFT+; .


Methods to Find your Private IP Address in Debian 10 ?
