the RTC in the local timezone is not fully supported and will

<listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument. Controls whether

network time synchronization is active and enabled (if

<filename>systemd-timesyncd.service</filename> unit. It does
|
|
not affect the state of any other, unrelated network time
|
|
synchronization services that might be installed on the
|
|
system. This command is hence mostly equivalent to:
|
|
<command>systemctl enable --now

systemd-timesyncd.service</command> and <command>systemctl

disable --now systemd-timesyncd.service</command>, but is

<para>Note that even if time synchronization is turned off

strictly speaking,

<filename>systemd-timesyncd.service</filename> does more than
|

just network time synchronization, as it ensures a monotonic

clock on systems without RTC even if no network is

available. See
