4. Available states
4.3. ntp.local_server
This formula uses pillar data to determine if the server is an internal NTP server or a local server that syncs to the internal NTP server and will write the ntp.conf file accordingly.
Requires CentOS 5.X or CentOS 6.X.
4.4. ntp.ng
This state is a re-implementation of the original NTP formula. As a
state, ntp.ng controls both the client and server through pillar
parameters. This formula does not require that a configuration file be
served directly and instead fully exposes all ntp configuration
parameters as set in the pillar.
Note: ntp.ng relies upon some conventions first available in the
Helium release.
